Re: Itai on CNN

Bottom line, the only person who knows, really knows, whether yaocho was 
committed or not, is the wrestler who does it, period.

So Itai, the guy who just wants money and popularity, IMHO a dickhead, can 
'fess up to his own yaocho and that is it.

Fixing the outcome of sporting events is not unique to sumo.  I think this 
just some sad person's effort to get attention and money.  I pity Itai.  I 
wonder if his chanko-nabe restaurant is busy now or not cause of this stuff.
