Japan -- Just when sumo's biggest star was set to assume his place among the sport's all-time greats a scandal has surfaced to knock him off his game.
Mongolian Asashoryu, whose real name is Dolgorsuren Dagvadorj, won his 20th Emperor's Cup in January, putting the 26-year-old on pace to become one of the most dominant wrestlers in the history of Japan's ancient sport.
But now he's being accused of cheating.
Recent reports in weekly magazine Shukan Gendai have rocked the sumo world with claims that grand champion Asashoryu paid off his opponents to let him win.
