    The question here is who conducted the test?

    Was it a WADA sanctioned anti doping test? Or did the JSA cobble together some local test?

    If it wasn't sanctioned by WADA and wasn't done in an accredited lab then the Court of Arbitration for Sport, (the highest sports court in the world) can and would likely toss out the results.

    Nothing has been mentioned about an A or B sample which makes me believe that this wasn't a proper drug test.

    Wakanoho should come see me and I'll get him back to wrestling within a few months along with a nice pay packet and an apology from the JSA.

    The JSA think they can walk all over athletes but they often forget that they themselves must abide by the rules of CAS and the IOC. After all they signed up to be recognized as part of the Olympic sports family. It could come back to haunt them if one of the wrestlers got wise and decided to sue them in a Swiss court.

    Further you can't ban an athlete for life until they have had a proper hearing. You can suspend them but you can't do what the JSA did.

    Fifty years ago airlines used to weight both the passenger and his luggage. Then you were charged accordingly.

    I don't see why this shouldn't be reapplied today. The heavier you are the more you should pay. Weight the total package.

    Most fat people probably won't like being reminded that they are in fact overweight.

    He hasn't been convicted of the offense yet so a life time ban is very fast in coming particularly as it only just happened.

    If he isn't convicted in a court of law he could very easily appeal the ban at the court of arbitration for sport in Switzerland (CAS), which the JSA is obligated to follow as a IOC recognized sporting body.

    CAS would likely toss the life time ban out pronto.

    Has he even been drug tested by a WADA sanctioned agency? The JSA would appear to be particularly harsh on foreigners in this matter.

    Try living cheaply in central London. My small flat is 2.5 times the price of my former house in Azabu. Then there is every kind of imaginable tax added to ones 40% income tax. Your left with wondering why you are even working in the UK. Basically all the workers are paying for all the illegals to lay about on benefits and fat housing allowances. I say let them move into blue sheeted houses under a bridge and give me back my hard earned salary. Tokyo is definitely not more expensive than London.

    I think this is a very interesting question. America has great influence over the rest of the world. Many people benefit and many also suffer from the decisions made by a few. The U.S. started an illegal war recently, killed thousands of innocent people, destroyed a sovereign country all based on lies that it created in order to sell the war to its voters. What message are they sending the rest of the world. Perhaps great power, such as the U.S. wields, shouldn't be in the hands of so few individuals. Particularly when the majority of those voters are idiots. I for one don't want my kid's future to be decided by a group of muppets who live on another planet from the rest of us.
