Businessman Donald Trump wants to build a $1.9 billion golf resort in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Trump offered plans yesterday for a golf academy and two championship-standard courses on a 1,400-acre site near Aberdeen. Trump, whose mother was born in Scotland, wants to build 1,000 homes, 36 luxury villas and a 450-bedroom luxury hotel on the same site. Local officials are expected to make a decision on the project in June.

Environmental groups oppose the development, which is planned for the environmentally sensitive Menie Estate, an area of unspoiled sandy beaches.

Trump, who owns several golf courses in the United States, already has warned that any lengthy planning delays could lead to the cancellation of the project.

Tennis

Venus Williams testified in West Palm Beach, Fla., in a breach-of-contract case that her father was never her manager and had no authority to enter her into an agreement for a 2001 "Battle of the Sexes" event.

"My dad was my coach. My dad was my dad. My dad supported me all my life, but he was not my manager," Venus Williams told jurors.

Promoters Carol Clarke and Keith Rhodes, owners of a company called CCKR, allege that Venus Williams' father, Richard, committed his daughters to play in the match, and that they failed to live up to the agreement. The promoters are suing the sisters, their father and his company, Richard Williams Tennis & Associates, seeking unspecified damages.

Serena Williams was expected to testify today. The promoters claim the tournament could have made about $45 million, of which 80 percent was to go to Richard Williams' company.

Boxing

Former heavyweight champion Greg Page was hospitalized with pneumonia in Louisville, Ky. It is the second time this year that Page, who briefly held the WBA heavyweight title in 1984, entered the hospital.

Soccer

The New York Red Bulls traded former MVP Amado Guevara to Chivas USA for a third-round draft pick and a "designated player" slot, which can be used to land an expensive player such as Brazilian superstar Ronaldo or former England captain David Beckham. The designated player rule, adopted by the league earlier this month, gives MLS teams the ability to acquire players outside the $2 million-per-team salary cap and is meant to draw high-profile stars to the league.

Curt Onalfo was hired as coach of the Kansas City Wizards after spending the past four years as an assistant on the U.S. national team.

Goal-line technology could be used in major competitions soon. The "smartball," used at the under-17 worlds in Peru, involves a microchip embedded in the ball. It sends a signal to the referee whenever the ball crosses the goal line.

Baseball

The Washington Wild Things lost first baseman Andy Hudak (Southern Illinois) and infielder Jason Bucholtz (Slippery Rock) in the Frontier League expansion draft. Washington then signed pitcher Jeff Michael from Ball State University and third baseman Ben Ramsey from Madonna University in Michigan.
