Japanese sumo star ordered to retire after second COVID-19 breach Tuesday, 23 February 2021
Japanese sumo star Tokitsuumi Masahiro has been ordered to retire after breaking coronavirus rules for the second time.
The 47-year-old, the leader of the Tokitsukaze stable in Tokyo, visited a parlor for the game mahjong in January during the New Year Grand Tournament, against COVID-19 restrictions.
This was his second violation after he was caught playing golf in Miyagi Prefecture in September.
The Japan Sumo Association demoted Masahiro by two ranks for his first offence, with the recommendation to retire the second strongest punishment available.
It falls short of the most severe option of punitive dismissal.
