http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gy%C5%8Dji It is in fact "nokotta nokotta!" (残った、残った！) which roughly means "You're still in it!". So Funkysauce is right.

http://pricetheory.uchicago.edu/levitt/Papers/DugganLevitt2002.pdf Here's the no bullshit academic version of Leavitt's work, I'm not an economist (I work in biostatistics and public health) but I think the math is solid, there is definitely some back scratching going on, even between stables. I still want to watch the next tournament, but maybe I will have to do some digging and figure out which stables cheat, and which matches are more likely to be rigged.

That paper was from 2002 and it took them 9 years to really try to clean house. It's still interesting but the problem won't get fixed until change the incentive to cheat.

Everybodies' favorite Takanoyama got gigged for shooting insulin to try and get fat a little while ago, but mostly they do it on chankonabe, beer and afternoon naps. Of course all of this is preceded by a grueling morning workout on an empty stomach so they are hungry enough to gorge and tired enough to sleep so they get fat.
