[sumo] Wakanoho Caught with Marijuana

[Scott M. Kahn]

I am working off of information posted on the mailing list.  Thank
you for the additional information, it makes Wakanoho appear
immature and selfish.  Not only that, if he made the purchase
himself, which is difficult to believe he would be that foolish, it
subjects him to blackmail, and we all know how such threats have
affected top rikishi in the past.

That a similar discovery was made at his private apartment was not
posted here before, it is incriminating, and would be difficult to
explain away.  From his performance, I wonder if Wakanoho was under
the influence when he faced Ama last basho.

It's about time they do, or is it again asking too much of the
Kyokai to police its own?  Is a discussion of this kind of drug use
amongst rikishi a taboo question in Japan?
