[sumo] sleep apnea tests under way

[moti <sumo@dichne.com>]

The kyokai has begun testing rikishi for sleep apnea syndrome (SAS). The 
first batch of 24 rikishi were tested, and  4 (17%) were found to suffer 
from it. Symptoms-loud snoring, halt of breathing, low oxygen level in 
blood. The tests came after an initial questionnaire was sent out to all 
rikishi asking them if they had any of these symptoms, to which 6% (of 
338 that responded) answered in the affirmative.
