On the other hand, the commision allowing the overweight Nery to fight, then imposing that lifetime ban after he destroyed Yamanaka in the 1st round of the rematch... looks like face-saving retribution rather than the enforcement of rules.
BTW, WBC + clenbuterol bust = built-in contamination excuse?
Nery would've been banned anyway regardless of the result, even if Yamanaka won the rematch. People outside Japan who doesn't follow the lower weights probably don't know, but Yamanaka was a well liked long time champion who had 12 consecutive defenses, was already 35 years old at the time of the first Nery match and was going to retire after the match hopefully having tied the Japanese legend HoFer Yoko Gushiken's Japanese record of 13 consecutive defenses. However Yamanaka lost, but then the banned substance fallout came out so Yamanaka took back his retirement and announced he was returning for one last fight to get his belt back. It was marketed as truly the last fight for a long time beloved champion, with all the Japanese boxing fans backing him. Nery definitely knew that Yamanaka had no choice but to fight him at that point because he wasn't going out having taken back retirement and only to refuse to fight, and came back well overweight.
Inoue respected Yamanaka and was a guy he looked up to. Nery essentially sayed FU to him and pissed on his farewell year.

Those fights are at 122. Why should he skip 126 to go to 130?

You are right, sorry I got the weights wrong for the divisions I was talking about, I meant at 122 there were some decent fights left before going to 126lbs. I would also add Casimero too as they have unfinished business and that would be a huge fight over in Japan or Phillipines.
Ideally Casimero fights Sam Goodman in the mean time and the winner gets third dibs.
