Ex-Japan handball player arrested over assaulting woman at hotel

His lawyer said Miyazaki claimed he was scrambling for a wallet with the woman but did not pull her hair, adding Miyazaki was showing regret over the incident.

Showing regret for something he didn't do. OK.

Was the wallet on top of the woman's head?

""It would be extremely regrettable if there indeed was violence by a player who has been a leading figure in Japanese handball, someone who has to set an example for those younger,"

My alma mater, could you help an arrested ex Japan handball player in denial ; to set an example for those younger,? I'm a leading figure in Japanese handball.

Well he may have tarnished his "alma mater"

Scrambling for a wallet in the woman's hair?

At least he seemingly remembers exactly what he was doing, unlike the average drunken arrestee.

Suspended sentence anyone?

The 39-year-old Miyazaki, who played for Alcobendas in Spain...

How ironic! It seems like an alcobenda might have contributed to his bad behaviour.

"assaulting a woman at a hotel in Nagoya"

"Was the wallet on top of the woman's head?"

he probably was thinking about the furry dugout to place the money.

Doesn't sound like much of an "assault".   A handball superstar like him should be ok.  Even though he regrets it.
