When it crosses the boundary of honorable conduct.

...When a yokozuna makes it clear that he will punish whatever sekitori 
defeats him in a match, then between bashos hunts down and forces that 
sekitori to "practice" with him, then thrashes him beyond reasonable 
limits, and kicks him repeatedly after he has fallen, to the point that 
damage is done and the opponent must be taken to the hospital, unable to 
compete in the next basho or forced to compete badly injured.  That's when.
