WRESTLERS SCANDAL

Paul Donahoe and Kenny Jordan were let go Tuesday, three days after a blog posted images of them taken from Fratmentv.com, a Web site featuring naked or partially clothed male athletes."The history of behavior of these men, including the current matter, does not reflect the standard of excellence we aspire to on and off the mat," coach Mark Manning said in a statement. "We have outstanding student-athletes in our program and we will move forward in a positive manner toward our goals.At about the same time, senior wrestlers were fending off allegations of match fixing made in a weekly magazine. Among those named was none other than Asashoryu, a fearsome, technically unrivaled wrestler with a reputation for flouting etiquette, much to the fury of the sport’s conservative elders.
A few adjustments to his positioning, a seamless change of grip and Asashoryu, the world’s greatest sumo wrestler, dispatches yet another opponent with consummate ease.
