In the '80s, there was this talk about a thrower whose urine was sent for testing after a meet and it tested positive for pregnancy!

P. T. Usha

P. T. Usha
Body is a God-gift.
P. T. Usha
Athletes will get result with training and proper exposure. Money should be spent on them for exposure. We should send them for competitions in Europe.
P. T. Usha
In the early 1980s, top athletes hardly got the kind of exposure needed.
P. T. Usha
If I missed bronze by whisker, it was due to lack of experience.
P. T. Usha
After a hard training day, I used to massage myself. That meant recovery was slow.
P. T. Usha
I had to travel long distances to train on a synthetic track, which added to residual fatigue.

Udaya Laxmi is not the only athlete who has been asked by the administrators to go after my records; they now want to take away the only record I hold, in the 400m hurdles that I set at the final of the Los Angeles Olympics in 1984.
P. T. Usha
Athletes like Milkha Singh, Sriram Singh, T.C. Yohannan and I set our records at international meets under stringent conditions, against the stiffest competition.

P. T. Usha
I always believe that speed is the essence for any sport.
