Sumo Association has suspended participation in 6 places and 50, saying that Asanoyama Ozeki of the sumo wrestling went in and out of restaurants with entertainment multiple times during the period when going out was prohibited and lied to the interview of the Japan Sumo Association. A 6-month disciplinary action was taken.
Asanoyama fell from Ozeki, and it was certain that the ranking would be lowered below the Makushita.
Last month, Asanoyama Ozeki admitted that he had gone out unnecessarily and urgently just before the start of the summer place, and took a break from the summer place on the way, and the Japan Sumo Association was investigating and considering disposal.
The Sumo Association held an extraordinary board meeting at the Kokugikan in Tokyo and Ryogoku from the afternoon of the 11th, and decided to suspend participation in 6 places and discipline for 6 months with a 50% reduction in salary. Asanoyama had submitted a retirement notice, but it was not accepted, and in the future, if he acts to cause trouble to the Sumo Association, he will continue to be active on the condition that he retires.
According to the Sumo Association, Asanoyama went in and out of restaurants with entertainment 10 times during the period from the first place in January to the summer place last month, and the place last November. It means that he had a dinner before.
In addition, he said that he was trying to destroy the evidence by talking with a reporter of a sports newspaper who accompanied him and telling a lie to the Sumo Association that he was "going for treatment".
The Sumo Association said, "Unconscious and frivolous acts have seriously polluted Ozeki's dignity. It is unforgivable. I don't even feel any awareness of it. "
Asanoyama fell from Ozeki, and it was certain that the ranking would be lowered below the Makushita.
On the other hand, the Sumo Association revealed that Asanoyama's predecessor master and former Ozeki Asashio's master Nishikishima also repeatedly went out unnecessarily and urgently during the outing period. Mr. Nishikishima has submitted a letter of resignation and it was accepted on the 10th.
In addition, the teacher Takasago was disciplined for 3 months with a 20% reduction in salary because of lack of guidance and supervision.
