RIO DE JANEIRO -- Several construction companies rigged their bids for 2014 World Cup stadiums, driving up costs by overcharging for the work, according to Brazils anti-trust body.So far, there are indications that at least five bids related to World Cup stadiums were the subject of the cartel, the anti-trust body CADE said in a statement.Five stadium projects included Rio de Janeiros famous Maracana Stadium, where Germany defeated Argentina 1-0 in the 2014 World Cup final.The other stadiums named Monday in the statement were in the northeastern city of Recife, and in Belo Horizonte in the southeast. The other two stadiums were not named.CADE said three other stadiums used in the World Cup also could have been tainted by corruption. They were named as venues in Fortaleza, Natal and Salvador -- all cities in the northeast.Brazil used 12 stadiums for the World Cup, although the governing body of world soccer FIFA required only eight venues.Four of the new or remodeled stadiums were built in cities without top-division soccer clubs and have become white elephants. They included Cuiaba, Natal, Brasilia and the Amazon city of Manaus.CADE said it obtained the bid-rigging information in a leniency agreement with construction company Andrade Gutierrez. It said the companies worked with an anti-competitive agreement to rig bid prices.Reports have been widespread about corruption linked to World Cup stadiums. Investigations are also on-going involving construction projects tied to this years Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.An analysis last year said Brazil spent about $3 billon on new and refurbished World Cup stadiums, with 90 percent of the funding being public money. Reports say Brazil spent about $15 billion overall to organize the World Cup, and about the same on the Olympics.The expenditures have been widely criticized as Brazil has plunged into a deep recession with several states -- including Rio de Janeiro state -- being months behind paying public service workers like teachers and hospital employees.---Stephen Wade on Twitter: http://twitter.com/StephenWade .

The Atlantic Coast Conferences television network will launch in August 2019, a person familiar with the situation said Tuesday.The person also said ESPN and the ACC also will start a digital channel next month that will be available online. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the network has not been formally announced by ESPN or the ACC.The launch of the network will be discussed this week when the ACC holds its preseason football media days beginning Thursday in Charlotte, North Carolina. Commissioner John Swoffords regularly scheduled news conference will be Thursday.The ACC will become the fourth major conference with its own network, joining the Big Ten, Pac-12 and Southeastern Conference. The SEC also has ESPN as its partner.The Big Tens network, which launched in 2007, is backed by Fox. The Pac-12 owns the network it started in 2012 and has faced some distribution difficulties -- for example, it is not available to DirecTV subscribers.ddddddddddddThe SEC Network, which is headquartered in Charlotte, launched in August 2014.The ACCs digital channel will be available to authenticated subscribers via ESPNs online apps, the person said. That means viewers will have to first provide the usernames and passwords they use to log into the online accounts for their cable or satellite television providers.The creation of an ACC-specific TV channel has been arguably the hottest off-the-field topic surrounding the conference since realignment slowed, and the conference has spent years researching the possibility.Swofford routinely has been peppered with questions about a network, but has only been able to provide vague answers. At last years preseason football media days he joked, I know youre very tired of hearing me talk and not say much on that subject. ' ' '
