A sumo wrestling grand champion is alleged to have hit a fellow wrestler over the head with a beer bottle in a fresh scandal that has rocked the highly ceremonial sport. Nine-time grand champion Mongolian wrestler Harumafuji, 33, has apologized for "causing trouble". Sumo's origins lie in Shinto rites performed in temples, and Japanese fans expect wrestlers competing in the ancient sport to live up to strict standards of good behavior. Wrestlers are expected to not show emotion after a victory and a rigid hierarchy exists.
