Qatari Bin Hammam and Warner are among four people suspended by FIFA for alleged roles in the attempted bribery of 25 Caribbean Football Union associations in the build-up to the FIFA presidential elections.

Gibbs, who is Canadian, said on Tuesday that there was "nothing tangible to investigate" regarding the allegations of bribery at a meeting in the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Port of Spain.
