The Bermuda Football Association have stood by their statement which helped expose FIFA’s alleged cash for votes scandal despite 13 Caribbean nations insisting no such offers were made.It’s been reported the BFA were among seven whistle-blowers who refused cash bribes from top FIFA executives Mohamed Bin Hammam and Jack Warner for their votes in yesterday’s presidential election.But those claims have been rebuffed by 13 of Bermuda’s Caribbean associates who have written statements supporting suspended Concacaf president Warner’s denial any such offers were made.The alleged cash bribes $40,000 offered to each of the region’s 25 nations were made at last month’s Caribbean Football Union’s (CFU) special summit in Trinidad, which was attended by BFA second vice-president Gregory Grimes and general secretary David Sabir.Lifting the lid on the worst corruption scandal to blight FIFA was lead whistle-blower the Bahamas, whose claims were backed by statements from Bermuda, Cayman Islands and Turks and Caicos.And despite yesterday’s show of support for disgraced Concacaf chief Warner by many Caribbean FAs, Bermuda are standing by their statement.BFA president Larry Mussenden told The Royal Gazette: “Bermuda has stated its position to the investigators and we stand by that position.”But, in an attempt to avoid souring relations with the Island’s other Caribbean neighbours, Mussenden stressed: “Bermuda isn’t against what any other Caribbean nation is saying. We only speak for what we know which is only the extent of our experience.”Caribbean football officials have been warned to pay back any cash that they may have been given during the controversial meeting in Trinidad or face investigation as part of the corruption probe rocking FIFA.The warning came from Chuck Blazer, the general secretary of Concacaf, who first revealed the bribery allegations last week. Blazer has since been embroiled in a war of words with acting Concacaf president Lisle Austin, who attempted to fire him as the crisis deepened within the region.Asked about the growing divide at the heart of the confederation, Mussenden said: “It’s quite apparent to everyone that Concacaf is having some current difficulties.”Mussenden, who attended yesterday’s election in Zurich, Switzerland, added: “We, the BFA, hope the current issues can be resolved so that Concacaf can get on in the business of football development in the region. The BFA will try our best to assist all parties to resolve those issues, whatever they may be.”Sepp Blatter was re-elected unopposed as FIFA president yesterday, promising to use his final four-year term for radical reform of a sport reeling from bribery and corruption allegations.Delegates gave Blatter overwhelming backing to transform football’s governing body from within, rejecting a call from England to delay the election and then giving the Swiss 186 of the 203 votes cast. The election was a formality after Hammam dropped out of the race in the wake of the cash for bribes allegations.Among those backing Blatter to steer the FIFA ship back on course was Bermuda, who voted for the scandal-hit 75-year-old.“We extend our congratulations to president Blatter on behalf of the Bermuda Football Association and we look forward to his continued support,” said Mussenden.“The CFU and Concacaf have traditionally voted as a unit and it appears that trend has overwhelmingly continued into this election with a show of support for Sepp Blatter.”
