Have admitted publicly to baseball gambling

[Babaryutaikai 1]

SNIP

in addition to the steady recruiting from Hawaii and the rest of the US, the latter apparently being the only thing anyone from the United States has ever heard about. (Censored...) Talk about US-centric nonsense that annoys me a lot more than calling football "soccer".

Oh? Would you like to see my saved honbasho ticket collection and the names of innumerable non-sekitori rikishi that I and several other Americans I know have and do support, not to mention know very well? I don't know where you come from, but even if you are an American, quit bashing and generalizing about sumo fans from my country.

Of course, since you're so high up in the posting rankings, I'll probably get a warning for this response (Sign of approval...)

No, I'm quite sure, Asashosakari wouldn't like to see it.

And I'm also quite sure you will not get a warning when you stop telling other people what to do.

Excuse ME, yokozuna. So I guess you're qualified to speak for him or her and the entire sumo forum. I prefer to take your beef with me off the forum and speak about it personally in September. Don't worry, moderators, note: I said Moderators, Martina, I'm finished with this and will delete my posts if you wish.

Congratulations for completely missing the point in that inimitable style of yours...

Yes sure, I'm qualified to speak for everyone, although I don't do it usually (Sign of approval...) .

Getting away from cat-fighting and back to the news, there are nine Makushita-and-below rikishi who have been implicated in basbeall gambling, but have not been named yet. It was determined that they would be named when punishments are handed out on the 4th.

[ryafuji 825]

Apologies if this has been mentioned somewhere already, but when do we get the banzuke? On the 4th as well?

[Peterao 3]

The new banzuke is currently scheduled for release on the 5th.

[Kintamayama 47,403]

Yoshikaze is off the hook. He admitted at the very beginning of this affair in writing that he bet three times during the World Baseball Classic on small amounts and added that he hasn't done it since. He has been pardoned for his honesty, the fact he bet for a short period of time and on small amounts and because there were no apparent ties to the underworld in his betting (as for this last excuse, the reporter cynically reminds us that those that were punished were also found to have no connections to the underworld, so Yoshikaze seems to have been lucky). 4 other Makushita rikishi who were candidates for punishment were let off as well.

Score as it stands now:

27 people admitting baseball gambling:

2 Oyakata

8 Makuuchi

5 Juryo

11 Makushita and lower

1 tokoyama

and a partridge in a massage parlour.

The people who are not under house arrest's names will be made public on July 4th (with firecrackers and a BBQ, no doubt)

Do you still count Yoshikaze in this? If so, I'm pretty sure Kotoshogiku needs to be added to the count even if he's not getting kinshin'ed. I forget the details but a couple of articles a day or two ago made it clear that he did gamble on baseball.

You are forgetting that I can't count-I only translate..

Waiting for the July 4th announcement is almost like waiting for a hurricane or typhoon to make landfall. You know it's headed your way and that it will cause damage. The only question is how much damage there will be. One thing is certain. Sumo won't be quite the same on July 5th as it is today. Hopefully, something positive will come out of all this current negativity.

And, the non-baseball gambler names are coming out. Biggest named card gambler: Hakuho. But no punishment will be handed out.

He has admitted to playing cards once for tens of thousands of yen, but has fallen into the category of "not a heavy gambler and it's cards in any case", so he will not be subject to any punishment.

The article I read said he gambled "about once every six months", not just once.

Yes, the articles this morning are alternating between "once or twice every six months" to "once every six months" to "a couple of times in the last six months".

Just to confirm this! I just got an email from Musashimaru and we talked about the banzuke and other things.

He said it will be released Monday for sure!!!

Assume this to be Miyabiyama. Is this list now official? There are only 7 Makuuchi (including Kotomitsuki) who will not mount the dohyo?

Musashigawa

Argh, fixed. Yes, barring new developments this is the final list. It was originally 8 makuuchi, meanwhile minus Yoshikaze, and 5 juryo, now minus the demoted Futeno.

Indeed, thanks.

Because he must have admitted to the lesser sin of gambling on cards/mahjong/golf.

Exactly! There is this post on Naruto's website:

無事番付発表もありホッとしています。

4日の相撲協会の会見の前にホームページには稀勢関の日記のコメントが入っており、会見後そのコメントが消されていました。白鵬の隣に稀勢関の姿を見た時はびっくりしましたが．．．仲間内で多少のお金を賭けての花札だとかトランプだとかゴルフだとか麻雀だとかは多くの方がやってる事だと思います。

普通ならば問題にならなかったと思います。そして稀勢関は正直に答えたのでしょうね。

鳴戸部屋ファンは決して稀勢関を責めはしないと思います。

コメントを消す前に、一言それに対してのコメントを書き込んでいただきたかったです。

お忙しいとは思いますが今回のこの相撲界の件に対して親方はどう思っているのかのコメントも知りたかったです。

閉ざされた相撲界！隠したがる相撲界！なんて言われてないで鳴戸部屋はオープンでいてほしいです。

生意気な事を書き込み申し訳ありません。

さて日曜日からの名古屋場所！どうぞ、どうぞ鳴戸部屋旋風を吹かせて下さい。皆様の大活躍祈っています。

Is he still going to be in the tournament though? Before the conference he had a post on Naruto's wesbite, after the conference it was deleted.

Yes, he's in- the final list of all those out is somewhere at the top of this page.
