CHAGUANAS, Trinidad - Suspended FIFA vice-president Jack Warner has backed down for legal reasons from his threat to reveal the content of emails with the ruling body's president, Sepp Blatter.

Warner (pictured) had promised a "soccer tsunami" would follow his suspension by FIFA's ethics committee last week but on Sunday he produced little more than a gentle Caribbean breeze.

In a brief speech in his constituency on Sunday, Warner, also Ministers of Works and Transport for Trinidad and Tobago, reiterated his innocence but said he would not be making public the emails after discussions with his lawyers.
