Scandal-tainted Asashoryu calls it quits
TOKYO, Japan - This photo, taken in July 2007, shows Mongolian yokozuna (grand champion) Asashoryu playing soccer at an event in the Mongolian capital of Ulan Bator. Later, Asashoryu, whose real name is Dolgorsuren Dagvadorj, received a two-tournament ban after it was revealed that he had played hooky from a summer regional tour in order to take part in the event after feigning the degree of his injuries. Asashoryu said on Feb. 4, 2010, that he has decided to bring an end to his illustrious but trouble-laden sumo career. (Kyodo)
