Sum wrestler Asashoryu shows his agility

A grand champion sumo wrestler has been banned from the next two tournaments and fined after he was filmed scoring goals and diving in for headers in a charity football match while supposedly injured.

It is the first time such a punishment had been handed out in the sport's 2,000-year history.

Dressed in a "Rooney" England shirt, 23-stone Asashoryu was filmed in his native Mongolia reportedly skipping tackles, making diving headers and scoring off a pass from the former Japanese international Hidetoshi Nakata.

The 26-year-old had been given permission by the Japanese Sumo Association to miss a regional tour last month after his manager submitted a doctor's certificate reporting a damaged elbow ligament and a stress fracture in his back.

Widely considered to be one of sumo's greatest ever stars, Asashoryu was the first Mongolian to attain the highest Yokozuna ranking.

Coordination is mostly mental. If you have the physique that can respond to the right brain, then you can be a top player. Can't be top flight without both.
