It was a sumo bout like any other: two wrestlers grappled at each other at the rings edge, before one sent his opponent tumbling to the dirt in a move known as the over-arm throw.

But a text message exchange between the two wrestlers the previous day suggests the match was rigged one part of a raft of evidence examined by police that has pointed to widespread match-fixing in Japans time-honored sport, triggering a public outcry.

Please hit hard at the face-off, then go with the flow, one of the wrestlers, Kiyoseumi, texted in the afternoon of May 10, the day before the bout in question, according to a transcript of the messages leaked to local news media and published this week by the daily Mainichi.

Understood, Kasuganishiki, his opponent in the following days match, quickly replied. Ill go with the flow and put up at least a little resistance.

That sounds a lot like me text messages with girls I sleep with before we consummate.

I remember the Freoknomics accusations. I remember researching what was the most viable way to bet Sumo offshore.

Today Mohammad Amir, Mohammad Asif and Salman Butt got 5, 7, and 10 years ban respectively. For spot fixing cricket last Summer.

These guys should be banned from everything just for their names alone. Two of them sound like terrorists and the other sounds like a gay porn star.

No, every Muslim is not a terrorist. BUT most of my posts are satirical. If their names were Tyrone Jackson and Kenyatta Washington, I would have made a African American joke. If their names were Bucky Lamont or Chester McGrew, i would have made a redneck joke. All Muslims are not terrorists. Just most of them.

Yep, minimum it will be 5 years after they go through that anti corruption education program that they are marketing that makes the ICC look like they are doing their part. They still face prosecution in the UK as this happened at Lord's.
