`Budhia's medical report premature'

Prafulla Das

Boy's coach gets him medically examined in a private hospital

BHUBANESWAR: Even as the Orissa Government on Tuesday deferred its decision on restraining child runner Budhia Singh from running long distance, the boy's coach, Biranchi Das, got him examined in a private hospital.

The findings contradicted the report of the medical board formed by the Child Welfare Committee.

"The medical board's report on Budhia Singh's health is quite premature and not scientific. After running for 65 km, his parameters are alright and shows that he is conditioned to take up the long distance run," said Dr. P.K. Pradhan, head of the Cardiology Department of Hi-Tech Medical College and Hospital, in his report.

"Should run"

"There is no evidence of any impending renal or cardiac involvement at present as per the report. Present suggestion is that that practice should not be stopped otherwise his confidence would go down," he said.
