KINGSTON, Jamaica – For decades, wherever he has stood, especially with regard to football, Austin 'Jack' Warner left a stench – of the type most people associate with corruption. That, of course, has never been proven where such things are determined – in courts of law. What was unique about Mr Warner, though, is that those closest to him seemed to lack the olfactory capacity for his range of scents. That deficiency, Mr Warner seemed to assume, was universal, particularly in Trinidad and Tobago, his home. Accusations against him were to be denied and toughed out. Life would go on. He might even receive higher responsibilities: like last year's promotion in the Trinidad and Tobago government to the post of security minister.
