3 wrestlers who beat younger grappler to skip another tournament

Three sumo wrestlers who allegedly assaulted a junior wrestler during a
training session last year will refrain from participating in the January
Grand Sumo Tournament, which will start on Sunday.

It is the second time that the three wrestlers, who belong to the
Tokitsukaze stable, have withdrawn from a tournament after they were absent
from the November Grand Sumo Tournament last year.

Stablemaster Tokitsukaze filed reports of their absence to the Japan Sumo
Association on Friday.

Tokitsukaze said he talked with the three wrestlers on Thursday and quoted
one of them as telling him, "If we participate in the tournament, we will
cause you trouble."

The three were reportedly involved in the assault of junior wrestler Takashi
Saito, who later died.
