Yokozuna Deliberation Council issues warning to Asashoryu

TOKYO, Japan - The Yokozuna Deliberation Council holds a meeting July 21 at Tokyo's Ryogoku Kokugikan Sumo Arena prior to making an official request to Japan Sumo Association chairman Kitanoumi to instruct Mongolian yokozuna Asashoryu to obey the rules of sumo etiquette inside and outside the ring. Asashoryu caused a fracas at the just-ended Nagoya Grand Sumo Tournament by becoming the first grand champion in the ancient sport to lose through disqualification.
