Is Yamamotoyama guilty of fixing his sumo matches?
There are reports that Yamamotoyama (facing away in the above picture) is one of the sumo wrestlers who is being investigated for fixing sumo matches. He said today that “he hasn’t.” (やってない) The cell phone text in question is “俺は誰に借りているかな？ 貸しは光龍と山本山だけだよね。” (“Who am I indebted to? I only have a loan with Koryu and Yamamotoyama, right?”)
Of course the “debt” in this message could mean anything. It need not be bout fixing. Apparently three sumo wrestlers have admitted wrongdoing. We’ll find out soon, I imagine, who they are and if Yamamotoyama is found guilty.
Stay tuned.
