IFBB Pro Bodybuilder Shawn Chapman Holley who had all felony charges dismissed; Hide pleaded guilty to only a single misdemeanor charge involving the possession of Viagra without a valid prescription.

However, the misdemeanor conviction was sufficient cause to revoke Hide's O-1 travel visa granted to foreign athletes who have extraordinary ability and have received international acclaim and recognition in their respective sport. Hidetada was freed from jail on probation and time served; however, he was immediately taken into custody by U.S. Immigration and Naturalization officials and placed in the Federal Correctional Institute at San Pedro, California while he awaited an appearance before the immigration court.

Yamagishi retained immigration attorney Ms. Montserrat Miller, Esq. from the law firm Greenberg Traurig. The immigration court gave him the option of remaining incarcerated while he fought the revocation of his O-1 visa or he could voluntarily return to Japan. Upon the advice of Ms. Miller, Hidetada Yamagishi chose the latter option.

Flexonline outlines the options that Hidetada Yamagishi now faces while he is home in Japan:

Now, Yamagishi must choose whether he wants to fight the revocation of his visa from Japan or apply for re-entry to the United States. IF he chooses to contest the revocation and loses, Yamagishi faces a five-year ban where he will not, under any circumstances, be allowed to enter the United States. However, if Yamagishi elects to apply for a re-entry visa and is approved, it is likely that he would be allowed back in the country within the next few months.
