Sumo fury

So much for the friendly giants of sumo...

Story:
The Russian sumo wrestler Roho faces a ban from Japan's ancient sport after throwing a temper tantrum in the wake of a defeat on Saturday.

Sunday's newspapers carried pictures of Roho in various stages of combustion after the red mist enveloped him in Nagoya.

Roho, nicknamed the "Russian bear", chased opponent Chiyotaikai into a bathroom after an explosive bout where both men broke several of sumo's strict rules of engagement.
