Wrestler Exposes Too Much, Loses Match Monday May 15 8:36 AM ET dailynews.yahoo.com TOKYO (Reuters) - Sumo wrestler Asanokiri lost a match and his dignity Saturday after his loin cloth fell off, exposing his manhood on national television. The red-faced giant automatically forfeited the match under an obscure rule that penalizes a wrestler for allowing his privates to be exposed by not wrapping his ``mawashi'' belt tightly enough. ``This is the first time in the 83 years since we instituted the rule that anyone has lost a match,'' a Japan Sumo Association official said. Asanokiri was in a hard fought match with Chiyohakuho but it was stopped immediately when a Sumo elder sitting ringside saw the offending member and invoked the exposure rule. The mawashi belts are about 23-26 feet long and are wrapped tightly several times around the bodies of the massive wrestlers.
