US football magnate Textor to face trial in Brazil

US football magnate John Textor will be tried by Brazil's top court for sport for ignoring orders to provide evidence for his claims that the Brazilian league is plagued by match-fixing, officials said Wednesday.News of his trial came a day after Palmeiras asked the same court to order Textor to "abstain from any mention of or reference to Palmeiras," after he repeated his match-fixing claims again Monday.
