Warner - one of 14 people indicted on charges of racketeering, conspiracy and corruption by the United States Department of Justice on Wednesday - was said o have handed himself in to authorities following the earlier arrest of seven defendants at the FIFA congress in Zurich.

Subsequent reports suggest Warner left jail in an ambulance after one night in custody, apparently suffering from exhaustion, before giving a speech to a crowd of supporters.
