I wonder why it is even news or being debated.

Everybody acts like this is the only and first baby-hatch in the world. Here is some info about baby-hatches: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baby_hatch

I feel sad for any baby abandoned but they might be able to have a better and more full-filling life…

Great Post. So breaking the law is doing nothing wrong. LOLZ. To be honest I see the guys on JT making a bigger deal out of it than anyone else.

Not saying NTV is the best source out there but NNN provides a lot of news for other stations too.

But to be fair I always watch 3 or 4 other stations(not NHK) too and if everyone sez the same ...

I think kitanoumi quit as he told recently that the elders failed to guide and teach their wrestlers proper behaviour, etc.

In short the JSA is also laying a lot of the blame on the stable-masters and elders.

That is how I see it.

According to NTV just now they were over the legal limit 5 times and 10 times.

Wakanoho wants to return to Sumo and offered an apology on the news too, but it looks like if he will return in 2 months.

Wakanoho said he never smoked with them, but they…

According to the news just now. One of the guys was 5 times over the legal limit and the other 10 times. You decide if that is from 2nd-hand smoke or not.

I am sure they will test all wrestlers, the 69 were tested because they were practicing together at…

What I am saying is the JSA can dismiss them without involving the Drug charges or even a needed conviction on those drug charges.

I am sure that Wakanoho got dismissed for doing illegal acts and due to his previous behaviour. And he made it even easier by smoking an…

Nice and dandy, but everyone here sez MJ is NOT doping, so there goes that argument.

And I doubt that the JSA would even try to pursue a doping charge, unbecoming conduct, etc maybe.

I know lots and lots of overseas people that use auction/bidding services for Yahoo/Japan, online shops, etc mostly due to the language and payment barriers. Not all payment methods are global, very little paypal in japan, nor are cheques accepted, etc. This is just a reversal of same.

Their biggest…

Sorry, never seen a wrestlers bones and I doubt that you have either unless you were there during an autopsy or are part of their medical staff(via x-rays).

And in a test you check for a specific substance NOT for anything, anyone that been hospitalized for a serious illness can…
