Suspended FIFA vice-president Jack Warner says he has no plans to meet investigators probing corruption allegations, as the president of the Barbados Football Association revealed none of his delegates were offered bribes.

FIFA have agreed to move the venue of the interviews with those Caribbean Football Union (CFU) members who refused to travel to Miami but Warner will not be among those quizzed by investigators.

Warner is alleged, along with fellow FIFA member Mohamed Bin Hammam, to have paid bribes totalling US$1 million to Caribbean associations, but said: ''I have not received any summons asking me to speak with them [the investigators] nor do I plan to do so.''

Warner and Bin Hammam have been suspended pending the investigation into allegations they paid bribes at a meeting of CFU officials in Trinidad on May 10 and 11. They deny any wrongdoing.

Indeed, the president of the Barbados Football Association, Ronald Jones, has insisted he nor his officials were offered any bribes by Bin Hamman or Warner.

Jones said in a statement: ''None of our delegates were offered any inducements or gifts to support any of the candidates during the meeting on May 10.

''Our delegates listened to the speeches by Mohamed Bin Hamman, who was there to make a case as to why he would need the support of FIFA members of the CFU.

''The Barbados Football Association was made aware that the trip and accommodation were sponsored by Mohamed Bin Hamman under the auspices of the CFU. The BFA did not and does not see this as akin to bribery or any inducements as in the past trips by Caribbean delegates to meetings have been sponsored by the organisation and agency that wanted to put on the programme.''
