They can't touch them till it goes to court either way, unless they confess.

Boonme.

Which part of AFAIK did you not get? By using that I can't be "completely wrong".

But thanks for the clarification, not sure which has higher authority here the ISF or the JSA though as I would assume that the JSA would be the governing/owning body that sets the…

Lets see, AFAIK, SUMO is NOT part of WADA.

Also as for the third-party handling being thrown but I don't recall there having been a trial(gone to court) yet which is needed to do so.

Looks to me like some posters like to slam things and sound off on things…

There goes my free beers, we used to get a lot of beer-coupons from clients.

Those are bassically like any gift-voucher and can be used to by beers or other goods, most liquor stores and supers accept them as a form of payment.

Dead-easy to resolve.

Take new samples under controlled situations(like with the lawyer present).

They got some way to go than.

Yesterday on the telly they named every foreign rikishi and his home-country and I didn't even know most of them nor that some of those nations had wrestlers here.

Plenty of foreigners in Sumo, remember we usually only hear/see the top-tier.

Halloween sucks period, just another money-maker like Feb 14th, etc. You guys are being taken, buying into a fantasy. Same for other so-called holidays.

Do you really need a special day to remember/appreciate a loved one or one that passed on.

Heck, if you can't remember/acknowledge a loved one daily…

Easy to prove you wrong too, as I got tons of manga my wife and son read on hand.

How about neko-moe?

ColAmerica again you are dead wrong.

Most manga in japan are NOT sexual, plenty of ones aimed towards OL, kids, etc.

They just don't get mentioned in the west as they only focus on the weird/sick stuff.

Not sure if ComicCon can beat Comiket a 4 day event that draws 2+mill people or Wonder-Festival that draws 400.000+ in a 7hrs period. I been to Comiket and Wonder-Festival and they are a mad-house.

But yes lots of twisted people out there.
