New questions arose about the man at the center of the Shohei Ohtani gambling scandal after journalists uncovered multiple inconsistencies with interpreter Ippei Mizuharas biography.

Earlier this week, Mizuhara was fired by the Los Angeles Dodgers after Ohtanis representatives publicly accused him of engaging in a massive theft of the baseball stars money.

While Mizuhara initially claimed Ohtani had knowingly paid off $4.5 million of his close friend and longtime interpreters gambling debt, representatives for the baseball player disavowed his account to the media.

Now, reports from The Athletic and NBC Los Angeles are casting further doubt on Mizuharas credibility.

The outlets found multiple discrepancies in Mizuharas education and work history in a biography that appeared in the Los Angeles Angels media guide, starting in 2019. Mizuhara was hired by the Angels after the team drafted Ohtani from Japans Nippon Professional Baseball league in 2017.
