About this case
2012/6/22 11:50
We sincerely apologize for the concern and inconvenience caused to everyone due to the series of incidents.
I would like to sincerely apologize to President Ogawa, all Stardom players and staff, everyone involved in professional wrestling, and all the fans.
Originally, I wanted to apologize to the fans who were worried, believed in me, and waited for me as soon as possible and let them know that I was safe, but since the investigation is still ongoing, I couldn't make any comments, so I decided to report this. Sorry for being late
As I said at yesterday's press conference, I have never been involved with illegal drugs such as marijuana, not only this time but also now and in the future.
After being detained and investigated by the police and prosecutors for 20 days, he was found to be innocent and released.
I felt really bad about myself during this time, but even more I feel bad that I hurt my fans.
Although I was released safely, I am also aware of the great amount of trust I have lost.
I've thought about it a lot, but I can't imagine leaving professional wrestling, and I hope to regain everyone's trust by devoting myself to professional wrestling.
I want to wrestle again with everyone from Stardom.
I keep thinking every day that I want to return to that sparkling ring of stardom.
Fortunately, I am grateful from the bottom of my heart to everyone at Stardom who offered to give me a chance to come back despite the trouble I caused.
From now on, I will change everything about my life, practice, etc. and start over from scratch as Io Shirai.
The investigation into the incident is still ongoing, so many things may come to light in the future, but for now I want to do my best.
