TOKYO, Japan (CNN) -- For the first time that sumo wrestling's governing body can recall, one of its revered athletes has been nabbed for drug possession.

On Thursday, the Japanese Sumo Association fired 335-pound Soslan Aleksandrovich Gagloev, better known in Japan as Wakanoho.

Police arrested the Russian wrestler this week after saying they found a third of a gram of marijuana in his wallet -- enough to land him in prison on a diet of forced labor for five years if he's convicted.

:lol Gotta love Asian drug policies

Out of concern for what would happen to your queasy little stomach if you had to watch the first person footage on CNN I imagine.
