Sumo Association Gets Tough(ish) on Gamblers

Correspondent: Riot Bunny

The Japan Sumo Association has issued tight new regulations to deal with gambling and match-fixing allegations that have threatened to destroy the sport. In future, wrestlers will be permitted to gamble, but only for stuffed toys.

'We believe these strict new guidelines will restore the integrity of sumo once and for all,' declared JSA president Ookinachanko. 'Our members will never again be able to get direct financial gain from fixed bouts. Not only that, wrestlers will be encouraged to donate their stuffed toys to charity offices, conveniently located near pachinko parlours, where they definitely won't be given any cash.'
