Marathoner Ram Yadav miffed he will have to prove fitness

NEW DELHI: Marathoner Ram Singh Yadav, who has qualified for the Olympics, on Tuesday said that his morale was down after Athletics Federation of India asked him to prove his fitness by running a trial race in Bangalore before going to London.
Yadav, among 14 track and field athletes to qualify for London Olympics, has been asked by the AFI to prove his fitness by running a 10,000km race at Bangalore SAI Centre as he has not taken part in any competition since January.
"I don't know what's happening. My coach (K S Mathew) got the call from AFI that I should prove my fitness by running in Bangalore. "I am fit and have no injury. I don't know why I should prove my fitness now," he said.
