[sumo] Baruto in trouble

[Lynn Matsuoka]

Baruto is an exceptionally bright young man for a rikishi, and a very
gifted athlete. Despite injury and a terrible situation at "home" ( his
stable) he has been able to do well in the ring in the past. This kind of
behaviour, close to the stable-changes and so much angst, could be a
psychological acting-out of irrepressable frustration. Now that everyone
is paying more attention, perhaps the situation can get better, and so can
Baruto.  He should be at the top.
