This refers to the brain stromer, “India’s blind spot at Rio: Track and Field” (July 30). The answer is simple: Brilliant self-respecting athletes are destroyed by sports officials and drug testing authorities.

They know that it is better to quit sports than lick the boots of the fat corrupt officials. Whatever achievement that has been achieved is inspite of these officials and not because of them.
