MOSCOW -- Russian investigators are pressing graft charges against a former deputy governor of St. Petersburg linked to the construction of a trouble-plagued stadium that is to host World Cup matches in 2018.The Investigative Committee said in a statement on Wednesday that Marat Oganesyan, the citys deputy governor in 2013-2015, has been detained on suspicion of embezzling 50 million rubles ($777,000) on a single contract to supply display screens for the new stadium. However, it could be only part of a much larger corruption case.Investigators said Oganesyan arranged for a friendly subcontractor to win the contract and funneled the money out via shell companies. Investigators said they have filed a motion with a local court to jail Oganesyan pending the probe.One official in the St. Petersburg city hall as well as three employees of the subcontractor are also under investigation in relation to the 69,000-seat stadium, provisionally called the Zenit Arena.Current deputy governor Igor Albin said on Twitter that the total sum of damages at the stadium ... exceeds 700 million rubles ($10.7 million), citing evidence presented to the city governments construction department.No external events will influence the construction of the Zenit Arena now: the budget for the construction is balanced and everything that is needed has been bought, Albin added.Wednesdays announcement came amid a blitz of corruption-related arrests and investigations in Russia. Late Monday, Economic Development Minister Alexei Ulyukayev was detained over an alleged $2 million bribe, while Wednesday also saw reports of investigations at a state technology firm and a helicopter manufacturer.The St. Petersburg stadium has taken almost a decade to build, prompting Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev to publicly call it disgraceful. The stadium, which is to host a 2018 World Cup semifinal match, is set to cost more than $600 million. Until the ruble dropped sharply in value in 2014 against the backdrop of international sanctions and a low oil price, the same ruble budget was worth more than $1 billion, making it one of the most expensive soccer stadiums in history.The St. Petersburg City Hall in July fired the general contractor over repeated delays and cost overruns, also saying that authorities have gone to the police because it has allocated $39 million for the construction which has been unaccounted-for. Later than month President Vladimir Putin issued a special decree, ordering officials in St. Petersburg to speed up the construction.FIFA expects Zenit Arena to be delivered in December so that it is ready to host the Confederations Cup next year.There have also been several deaths of workers during construction. In the past 12 months, three have died in accidents, and investigators said Tuesday a North Korean man working on the stadium had died of an apparent heart attack in a workers communal area at the stadium.

Cheap Air Max Outlet .J. -- New York Giants wide receiver Victor Cruz will miss the rest of the season after having surgery on his left knee. Melbourne coach Paul Roos has called on the AFL to reform what he calls the ludicrous Rising Star competition with Demons flyer Jayden Hunt just one week away from missing a nomination.Hunt, 21, has been a revelation for the Demons this season, making his debut at 21 after two seasons on Melbournes list without a senior match.He hasnt missed a match since coming into the team in round four, quickly becoming a fan favourite with his cut-through run and dash.But he hasnt won a nomination yet by Rising Star judges, who pick a player of the round each week to create a pool of nominees for the best young player award.Itd be a travesty if he didnt get a nomination, Roos said on Friday.He could be our best young player ... he could be the best young player in the comp this year.He should be in the top three or four players in the comp and hasnt been nominated.It just shows you what a flaw in the system there is.In Hunts most-prolific match this year, his 29-touch round-16 effort in Melbournes win over Fremantle, the judges preferred Callum Mills as the nominee.Mills, thhe favourite to win the award, tallied 23 touches and kicked his first goal in the Swans super away-day win over Geelong.ddddddddddddBut while Hunts form has maintained his position in the Demons line-up through the season, it hasnt been rewarded with a nomination.Either way, Hunt will head into the off-season with job security after signing a new two-year deal off the back of his form.Injuries, including back complaints, stopped an earlier progression to the senior side.Roos said the 2013 No.57 draft pick had benefited from the extra years in the AFL system before making his debut.If you miss that first year, sometimes it can be blessing. You can change your body shape, Roos said.You saw it with Jesse Hogan - you saw it with Christian Petracca.Huntys been fantastic. Hes had an incredibly good year.But I dont know how you can have a player thats clearly in the best six young players in the comp and hasnt been nominated. Its ludicrous. ' ' '
