Sumo: Disgraced sumo wrestler submits resignation to JSA
TOKYO, Jan. 31 KYODO
Disgraced sumo wrestler submits resignation to JSA
Sumo stablemaster Oguruma wipes away tears during a news
conference at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kok...
Juryo-division
wrestler Wakakirin, who was arrested the previous day for possessing
marijuana, had a letter of resignation submitted on his behalf by his
stablemaster Oguruma to the Japan Sumo Association on Saturday.
The
JSA, however, is holding off on whether to accept Wakakirin's
resignation until a board of directors meeting concludes Monday.
Accepting his resignation would preclude the JSA from firing Wakakirin.
Wakakirin,
a second-tier division grappler whose real name is Shinichi Suzukawa,
is the first Japanese sumo wrestler to be arrested in a marijuana case.
Early
on Saturday, the 25-year-old met with a lawyer and offered his
resignation. Oguruma appeared at a press conference at Tokyo's Ryogoku
Kokugikan after submitting the document.
''Wakakirin offered
his resignation and as his stablemaster I felt that this was the proper
thing for him to do. Allowing him to remain a sumo wrestler any longer
than this will only tarnish the ring further,'' Oguruma said.
Wakakirin
has told Kanagawa Prefectural Police that he smoked marijuana twice,
but investigative authorities said the previous day that a suspicious
result had been reported for his urine samples following tests last
September.
''I smoked marijuana immediately before my arrest on
Jan. 30 and Jan. 29. I did not smoke any before that,'' Wakakirin said.
He
was tested three times in September, producing a negative result in the
final one and the sports governing body eventually acquitted him.
Sumo
elder Hidenoyama, who oversaw the urine tests as a high-ranking
official on the committee to eliminate vice from sumo, said he is
confident of the accuracy of the tests.
''An expert was in charge of administering those tests, so I am certain
they are accurate,'' he said.
Police
said Wakakirin voluntarily submitted his urine sample after his arrest.
The tests, which will also seek to find if any other drugs were used,
will be carried out early next week.
Wakakirin was apprehended
along with musician Tsutomu Hirano, 30, on the spot in Tokyo during the
investigation into another drug-related case on Friday.
The
arrest of Wakakirin, who made his sumo debut in 1999, came after three
Russian sumo wrestlers were the subject of marijuana charges and were
expelled from the sport during the last six months.
Top-division
grappler Wakanoho rocked the sumo world when he was arrested on charges
of marijuana possession last August, while compatriots and brothers
Roho and Hakurozan both returned positive results in ensuing drug tests
conducted by the JSA.
