The recent developments in the life of former WWF star Tony "Ludvig Borga" Halme have led to a journalism scandal in Halme's home country of Finland.

Journalist Jari Pekkanen of Finland newspaper Iltalehti was suspended after the paper learned he had contacted a competing paper Ilta-Sanomat claiming to be a friend of Halme's and giving them incorrect information on his condition that eventually was reported by the latter newspaper.

After reporting Halme had suffered brain damage and was in dire condition, Ilta-Sanomat realized it's reports were vastly different than other published reports and traced calls from Pekkanen back to his newspaper, contacting his superiors. Iltalehti has announced that Pekkanen is out on sick leave.

Halme has been hospitalized since July following a shooting incident involving his wife in his home. Neither were shot during the altercation, but a handgun Halme was holding went off during an "incoherent rampage." Authorities in Finland are still waiting for his health to improve so they can question him on a number of charges.
