Do you mean to tell me that all Asashoryu did was yell at the
stalkarazzi photographer who tried to manufacture an incident,
considering that Asashoryu was traveling in private from his family
gathering?
As if prior reports weren't disturbing enough, now comes word that
Tokitaizan was tied up like an animal and beaten, just prior to his
death. I can not believe for one second that those who condoned
this act, and those who carried it out did not report or confess
these circumstances to the Kyokai well before the police
investigation began. Or perhaps the Kyokai's internal
investigation was not meant to find guilt. Either way, it is
apparent to me that senior members of the Kyokai must resign and
accept responsibility for this horrendous act. Isn't that the
Japanese way, and the traditional sumo way (or is it only Asashoryu
who must adhere to petty unwavering rules)?.
