Mongolian Sumo champ allowed home

The Mongolian wrestler was suspended by Japan's sumo association for returning to Ulan Bator to play soccer with local youths after pulling out of a regional sumo tour with a back injury. In an emergency meeting on Tuesday (August 28), officials of the ancient Japanese sport gave the go-ahead for the 150 kg (330 lb) Asashoryu to travel, ending weeks of wrangling that has received blow-by-blow coverage by the media.
