It's just a Fanta-sy. It's not the Real Thing, unlike Coke.

He's still in sumo? Guess getting drunk and damaging other peoples cars and property isn't as grave an issue as smoking a fatty in your apartment.

Lies?
http://www.scotsman.com/world/Sumo-master-ready-for-a.2549992.jp July 2004, Asashoryu got drunk and busted up his stable.
Before that in 2003 he got all tangled up with Kyokushuzan, fighting in the bath, breaking the mirror on his car, did we forget?
