MOSCOW - Russias budget for hosting the 2018 World Cup may face a squeeze as the rubles fall against the U.S. dollar makes imported construction materials more expensive, according to the head of the organizing committee.The ruble has fallen by almost a third against the dollar since the start of the year, accompanied by a fall in the price of oil, a crucial factor for Russias state budget.Organizing committee leader Alexei Sorokin told local media on Wednesday they cant do without purchases from abroad in World Cup construction but will try to replace some imported goods with local production.Sorokin said the Russian government has no big desire to raise the budget to compensate for the rubles fall, and that spending cuts are off the menu.It would be a different World Cup, or not even a World Cup at all if cuts are made to the budget, Sorokin said. Theres nothing left to be cut.The World Cup budget is 664 billion rubles ($16 billion), mostly from public funds, although the headline budget figure does not include commitments by state companies to build many new transport links.When Russia won the right to host the tournament in 2010, President Vladimir Putin said it would cost around $10 billion.Sports Minister Vitaly Mutko sounded a warning on costs Wednesday when he said that projected increases for the planned stadium in the city of Kaliningrad, one of 12 World Cup arenas, dont satisfy the government.Sorokin suggested the Kaliningrad stadium should be moved to another location in the city, away from its current site on an island, where soft ground is reportedly likely to inflate building costs. The issue must be solved by the end of the week, Sorokin was quoted as saying. Zach Britton Jersey .

Speaking to The Associated Press on Friday at an NBA Cares event, Silver said hes thrilled that the leagues attention can be on the championship series between the Miami Heat and San Antonio Spurs -- and not, as it was for so much of the post-season, on the off-the-court matters involving the banishment of Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling and now the looming sale of that franchise.OAKLAND, Calif. - Relaxed, relieved and ready to resume their championship chase, the Los Angeles Clippers tried to get back some sense of normalcy Wednesday after a week unlike any other in NBA history. Clippers coach Doc Rivers says his team is not past the "distraction" caused by owner Donald Sterlings racist remarks caught on an audio recording. While NBA Commissioner Adam Silver has bannedd Sterling from the league for life and asked owners to force a sale of the franchise, Rivers says plenty of uncertainty will remain until a new ownership group is in place.dddddddddddd. The Clippers can at least take another step forward on the court when they try to eliminate the Golden State Warriors in Game 6 on Thursday night in Oakland. Los Angeles leads the first-round series 3-2. ' ' ' |
