In Japan the world of sumo wrestling has been rocked by a drugs scandal.
Two Russian wrestlers have tested positive for marijuana use and another has been arrested on suspicion of possessing the drug.
The wrestler who was arrested has already been banned for life. The other two are waiting to hear how they will be punished.
The world of sumo is very conservative and wrestlers are held to the highest moral standards.--
