The "retired" Yokazuna - the straight dope!




Hello again.
OK - this is something I have wanted to ask knowlegeable folks
for some time.
What is the REAL story behind the two Yokazuna (I don't even know
their names) who were forced into "retirement" a few years back.
Everyone I asked about this in Japan was REALLY reluctant to
talk about it, and I never got a straight answer.  
So, do any of you guys know?
Hiroki, do you know something about this? (you may well have had
more/better access than me to information at the time?)
Hoping for some straight dope
Martin

PS - my last message "bounced" from Scott as well as Tim.  Pete,
could you please check their addresses?  Thanks.
