Sumo: Officials warn Mongolian wrestler

Raising their eyebrows over his hair pulling and out-of-the-ring insults against a rival that scandalised Japan's centuries-old sport, sumo's senior officials decided yesterday to warn a star Mongolian wrestler, Asashoryu, to be more disciplined inside and outside the ring.

The decision follows a widely-publicised feud between two Mongolian wrestlers - yokozuna (grand champion) Asashoryu and the lower-ranked Kyokushuzan.
