Isegahama scandal -part 3 ?

[Moti Dichne]

Isegahama beya coach Tateyama Oyakata (ex-Homarefuji) spoke today to reporters after the toshiyori-kai held in Osaka City. Regarding former Yokozuna Terunofuji (Isegahama Oyakata) , who will be forced to withdraw from Haru Basho due to violent behavior toward a deshi, Tateyama denied any unrest within the heya, saying, "Even if he's not at the basho, he's still at the heya, so it doesn't make much difference. I think the deshi will be able to fight as usual." The investigation is currently ongoing, and as a temporary measure, Isegahama's withdrawal from the Haru Basho was decided today. Isegahama, who was originally scheduled to attend the toshiyori-kai (general elders' meeting), was absent. According to Tateyama Oyakata, Isegahama Oyakata has basically refrained from going out since he reported the violent behavior to the Kyokai.
