Legendary athlete says the runners should be tested regularly during off-season
For years, the quartermilers have enjoyed special status in Indian athletics. They have also been sent for long camps abroad frequently, to countries like Turkey, Poland and the Czech Republic. That’s because the Athletics Federation of India had been harping for years that the 4x400m relay team, especially women, have a chance to win an Olympic medal.
