I don't have any opinion on whether he should be reinstated or not but I hope he gets a fair hearing. Maybe we can hear the reason why a drug that is not performance enhancing is justification for a lifetime ban. Fight the system, yay! Imagine: sumo fight club, for overeaters...

Its too bad, I saw him once in asageiko. He really had potential. As for Roho, he's an idiot and deserves to get booted, that goes for his brother too. This lawsuit serves nothing but their inflated egos. Wakanoho…more like “Bakanoho”.

What a joke if he thinks he can sue and get his way! Even if he does win the lawsuit, an old boy society (i.e., where respect is sacred) like that will make his life a living hell. Wow!

But I for one think he should be given a second chance. Practically yes, I guess he will have a lot of troubles even if he wins the legal case.

I read some stuff about the JSA being a member of the IOC, so they have to abide by proper procedures before banning, but is getting sacked by your stable a different matter? Would anyone else have him? Can you be a ronin rikishi? I think there's some privacy issues about him being a minor and doing it off-duty, but... Oh-oh, this is going to get ugly I suspect.
