Sumo hit with fresh bullying scandal

Terunofuji, who retired in January last year and became a stablemaster five months later, told reporters that he had turned himself in to the Japan Sumo Association for physically abusing one of his wrestlers. The 34-year-old said that he and two of his wrestlers had already been questioned by the association. He told reporters that he had apologised to his own wrestlers for the incident and that "the responsibility lies with me". "Now, we are simply waiting for the association's punishment," said the Mongolian-born Terunofuji.
