If he's going down, he's taking a whole lotta people with him* - "Russian sumo wrestler claims matches were fixed /wrestlers smoked marijuana."

Russian sumo wrestler claims matches were fixed / Japanese wrestlers smoked marijuana | Japan Probe:
"The Japan Sumo Association might come to regret its decision to ban Russian wrestler Wakanoho over a marijuana scandal. Today he went before the press and claimed he was forced to throw matches in exchange for money:
“I was forced to accept money and put in unfair bouts,” Soslan Aleksandrovich Gagloev, known by his ring name, Wakanoho, said through an interpreter.

Wakanoho also accused trainers and other wrestlers of smoking marijuana.

He said he will give further details when he testifies in court later this week as a witness for the weekly magazine Shukan Gendai, which faces a defamation suit by the Japan Sumo Association and several wrestlers over its articles last year alleging bout-fixing."

*"Why yes, that is a quote from New Jack City," Rob said, showing his age.
