There seems to be one or two flare ups a year on the
list...usually on topic which of course is one of the
things that makes this list work so well.

Prediction...regardless of what happens in
January..Asashoryu supporters years from now will be
looking back at this suspension and using it as
support to some form of argument that he was prevented
from reaching record Yusho levels.  

The only thing that I know for certain is that he is
the most consistent winner that I've seen.  I have no
opinion on how that relates to his competition.
