[sumo] Some more facts on the punishment

[Moti]

More on the technicalities:
14 Oyakata convened for 25 minutes to decide the punishment. "He should 
be fired! He should know jungyos should not be taken lightly!", were 
some of the things heard at the meeting.Takasago Oyakata , who is the PR 
chief of the Kyokai, was not even allowed to participate in the press 
conference that dished out the sentence. He was also not allowed to 
participate in the proceedings which led to the punishment. Instead, he 
stood outside the door waiting to be summoned.
There is no written rule calling for "house arrest". This is a first 
that is specifically called. The three h's-Home, Heya, Hospital. He is 
not allowed to dine out with his family or friends. 117 days of 
triple-H.. No Mongolia home trips.
Caught violating house arrest? No two ways-dismissal, the most 
frightening words in the Kyokai book of rules-Kaiko. Takasago called Asa 
by phone to tell him the nature of the punishment, and explicitly warned 
him that a violation of the terms will terminate him in the Kakkai.
"It's not only about the latest indiscretion-I think it's an 
accumulation of all his past problems", said Isenoumi Oyakata at the 
press conference, when asked if this punishment wasn't too severe.


Tanigawa K1 honcho guy has already sent feelers. "I'd be daft not to 
look into this possibility", he explained. Asa in K-1? Definitely won't 
repeat Akebono's "success'.

Takasago Oyakata has been "punished" once before, for participating in a 
golf competition run by a gangster organization.
Running in the KK hall to hear the verdict:
