Yokozuna Asashoryu is in hot water again, this time for failing to 
declare approximately 100 million yen in taxable income over a 
three-year period until 2005, sources close to him said Monday.

He has already corrected his tax returns and paid the back taxes, 
believed to be about 30 million yen, according to the sources.

The Mongolian sumo wrestler earned the money from fees for appearing TV 
commercials and the broadcasting of his wedding reception.

Asashoryu has been suspended from two tournaments for participating in a 
charity soccer match in Mongolia, despite claiming injury as a reason 
for not participating in a summer sumo event. (Mainichi)
