Was the guy allegedly beaten up was REALLY beaten up? Because 'assault' as I understand it does NOT involve physical touching,at least in torts. I think it is all made up, the guy denied alleged assault later on anyway. The guy is going through some tough times, he was divorced last year, for god's sake. GIVE HIM A BREAK OK!

There is no way that he would do a such thing. Besides, he is a Mongolian. Mongolians have a reputation of being very warm, friendly and civilized people. i'm sure it's just another japanese scam.

Some rikishi got away with murder (literaly) when the young wrestler was killed during hazing. The JSA (as a whole) doesn't like foreigners in the sport. People look they other way when Japanese rikishi pay off their bouts (as stated before Chiyotaiki was king of this) but Hakuho and Asashoryu get taken to court for it. These guys are professional athletes, to think that Japanese yokozuna never got drunk and got in fights is being naive. Don't give me that "they should have honor" crap.

This is just one of several incidents involving Asashouryu's drunkenness and disorderly behaviour in public. This is neither heroic nor worthy of role-model status. Not to mention that although somewhat rare, he's exhibited some somewhat sketchy behaviour during matches as well (e.g. grabbing hair, ungracious victories, and using over-aggressive energy during yorikiri). Perhaps much of what is being written here is true; I have no idea, but what it boils down to is conspiracy against Asashouryu. Consider this-- How would any such public conspiracy be successful if Asashouryu, himself, had never done anything to fuel the fire? Yakuza-this and Japanese sumo wrestlers cover-up that? That's the argument here? Or maybe double-standards against gaikokujin in Japan? I'll spare all of us the "Japan is not the same as lecture."

He has a rep as a rulebreaker, or worse. But there's also not a few sumo fans (and sponsors) who hate seeing GAIJIN being the only yokozuna (both gaijin!, oh noes!) and do their best to "expose" his behaviour where they try to help cover up ill behaviour of Japanese rikishi. But then, Hakuko seems to be doing fine, right? That kind of discredits the racism theory. Though any sumo fan who goes on about the honestly and integrity of the sport.. don't make me laugh. The only result is all these scandals can only be bad for sumo. Who knows?

Chiyono-fuji and Chiyo-taikai were king of rigged games, everyone knows that. haha sumo organisation itself has a big connection with yakuza and other wrestlers are using drugs and linked to yakuza as well and this is just hilarious that they are blaming only Asashoryu.

The Japanese people are scared that Asashoryu will surpass Taiho and Chiyonofuji. Shameless lies with single aim to remove the Mongolian champion. It is no wonder that the news appeared after Asashoryu's 25th victory. He is still strong and the Japanese are afraid. Asashoryu is innocent. He is the greatest and will ram his way to thirty-three or more victories. This incident is a heinous provocation by the Japanese to dethrone Asashoryu.
