Warner backtracks on email

Felicity - Suspended FIFA executive Jack Warner has reneged on a pledge to reveal details of an email exchange with president Sepp Blatter.

At a Sunday rally that drew a few thousand supporters, Warner said he decided not to disclose the email exchanged with Blatter because "the best legal advice received at home and abroad has suggested that I do not do so at this time."

Caribbean football leaders are alleged to have been paid $40 000 each to back Mohamed bin Hammam's presidential bid during a visit to Warner's native Trinidad.

Warner and Bin Hammam were suspended pending a full investigation, and Blatter was re-elected unopposed.

Warner had previously said "the contents of the email are crystal clear as to what transpired."
