Asashoryu to return after Kyushu

FUKUOKA (Kyodo) Mongolian grand champion Asashoryu will return to Japan from
his homeland on Nov. 26, the day after the upcoming Kyushu Grand Sumo
Tournament wraps up in Fukuoka, sumo sources said Thursday. According to the
sources, Asashoryu will head to Tokyo after arriving at Narita airport to
apologize to members of the Yokozuna Deliberation Council for behavior that
led to a two-tournament suspension and will then hold a press conference.
