More on the Isegahama unfolding news

[Moti Dichne]

Isegahama Oyakata: "We are now just waiting for the Kyokai's disciplinary action. If we say anything more, it would make things worse. I believe the Kyokai will give us a proper answer. We are waiting until then. Regarding Hakunofuji's participation, he is receiving treatment for the pain in his leg from the previous tournament, and that was already planned. That's all. Also, Midorifuji has had some problems with his heart, They are currently both undergoing treatment, so neither of them is participating in keiko. Yes. I hope there is no misunderstanding about that."

Interview:

-Did you contact the Kyokai to report this?

-Yes. -

-Does this mean that you decided it would be best to report this to the Kyokai?

-That's right. I spoke with the other two the next day and we decided to tell the truth, from our own mouths. I also said that I would tell the Kyokai about what I had done myself. So the three of us went together.

-When will Hakunofuji rejoin the training?

- I think he'll be back in about two or three days. He's not in a condition to wrestle right now. He's probably been suffering from it for a long time. It's more like an injury. I think it's causing misunderstandings. He has torn ligaments in his leg. He's currently undergoing treatment for that.

-Have you reported what happened to the rikishi in your heya?

-Of course. I gathered everyone together. I apologized to everyone because I had acted irresponsibly.

-When do you think the Kyokai will issue disciplinary action against you?

- I don't know. I've told the Kyokai the truth about everything and left it to them.
