So while we are enjoying (or despairing of) sumo, the tabloids are picking some more Asanoyama smut.
According to one of them, the reason Asanoyama came to admit his deed was not the fact that there were photos in the Bunshun article.

After some details didn't look right in his story, they re-questioned him, in the presence of a lawyer, who told him "If you are as innocent as you say, let us check your smartphone". So he let them. And there was location history there.

Another fun tidbit is that, on one occasion at least, the beat reporter Sponichi has assigned him went together with him to that hostess bar. Asanoyama footed most of the bill. This is now under disciplinary investigation at Sponichi.

Old Asashio has distanced himself from the whole business. He doesn't interfere with the deshi since relinquishing the heya, and he goes to sleep at 9pm.
