	I'm thinking that this just might be to much of an injury to overcome. 
I've had slight damage to my rotator cuff for a few years and it's not
easy to get it fixed.  Without knowing the exact injury it's all
speculation but if it isn't better by the beginning of July it's going
to be extremely hard for him to continue in Sumo.

	But then again, what do I know?
