President of the Dominica Football Association Patrick John said he has received no official notification on a decision by FIFA’s ethics committee relating to the cash for votes scandal.
John and Phillipe White, both from Dominica, are among ten individuals being charged.
John says however he had only heard about the charges.
“I have been getting calls about other people from that however I have received no letter, no email, and no instruction about FIFA on the matter. It looks like everybody knows about it than me. I don’t know what I am being charged for, what I am being charged about, I just don’t know,” he said.
John said he conducted an interview in St. Martin and issued a statement to FIFA there.
“We made a statement, sign it to be true and authentic. FIFA signed saying they have received the statement and that was it. Since then I heard nothing from the committee. I am really shocked about their statement because I should have known before the press,” he explained.
In July, the ethics committee ruled that Bin Hammam had made or offered cash gifts of $40,000 to each of the 25 Caribbean Football Union chiefs at a special meeting in Trinidad in which both men attended.
Under FIFA’s code of ethics, officials are not allowed to accept cash gifts and must report suspected corruption.
Meantime White says he is awaiting an official letter from FIFA before he could respond.
In June, Jack Warner quit as FIFA vice-president and head of the CFU after he was charged with bribery.
He claimed there was a FIFA conspiracy against Caribbean football.

Can’t believe it! This morning on Matt, P.J. confirmed he is for sale….as long as it is $ 1 million. The man has his price but he not cheap!
Just 40,000 thousand dollars, that’s a little bit to lose one’s integity for.
Don’t worry it is in the mail!!
PPL BEFORE WE CONDEMN THE MAN WE HAVE TO GET CONFIRMATION THAT HE TOOK THE MONEY. fIFA WILL CHARGE EVERYONE THAT WAS AT THE CONFERENCE SO OBVIOUSLY DOMINICA WOULD HAVE BEEN CHARGED EVENTUALLY. IF THEY TOOK THE MONEY THEN THEY HAVE TO FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.

DONT LET FIFA use you to rat on no one nuff respect YOU KNOW I LOOK UP TO YOU TOO ALONG WITH THE THOUSANDS OF OTHER CARIBBEAN PEOPLES

This practice is nothing new in Sports. Olympic bidding cities offer the same to countries for their votes. I guess FIFA for whatever reason has decided to out Jack Warner. This is just something personal.
The problem that I have about these guys accepting case for votes, is that they are pocketing the money for personal use instead of using it to improve training and personal development of players and Football in Dominica.
The same happens with the National Olympic Committees. We need honest people in these Committees.
Mi torry. Papa bat.Plis tard, plis twis.
I am not saying they took any cash but if they did just come out straight and say so, explaining why they did and maybe it won’t look or sound that bad.
Hmmm, is that what you call shaking in the boots?
I mean you know this was coming right? Yes yes there is a saying out that everyone should be given second chances. But it looks like it is 2-0 for you man.
This is a good old parable you know man; the one about a leopard and its spots…
I watchin’ still!!!
another sad story but this time you seems caught
PJ,its history in that we are the only country that FIFA two officials shame on us
This is nothing new from the right Colonel to say that he has not received any information regarding his charge. In other words he is saying that he has not being charged, so he has no explanation to give to the media.
A note to the wise is to stay tune for the next stunt of the colonel. Mark my words it is coming.
Like ur playing field…lol…all u still voted him…
When caught, the best defence is to say the accuser has something against me. Modus operandi of Warner and his acolytes.
