The Associated Press: "GENEVA (AP) — Jack Warner quit as a FIFA vice president Monday, and soccer's governing body dropped a bribery investigation of him.
Warner and Asian soccer chief Mohamed bin Hammam were suspended by FIFA last month after they were accused of offering $40,000 cash payments to Caribbean voters during bin Hammam's presidential campaign to unseat Sepp Blatter.
Warner spent 28 years on FIFA's executive committee but stepped down days after some of his Caribbean Football Union followers were interviewed by former FBI agents enlisted by FIFA to investigate.
FIFA said it accepted his resignation and 'regrets the turn of events' that led to the decision."
