Marathon boy, four, runs into storm of exploitation claims
For his armies of cheering fans in Indias slums, he is a small but nimble miracle, destined to run his way into history as one of the worlds greatest athletes.
Budhia Singh, a four-year-old urchin, can complete a 26-mile marathon faster than many runners who are twice his height and many times his age.
But just as fame and fortune beckon - and a trip to Britain to star in a television documentary - doctors who have examined the child phenomenon have laid down an early finishing line to his career.
Alarmed at television footage of him collapsing in the final stages of a record-breaking 43-mile run, Indian health officials ordered police to take him into hospital on Friday for tests to see if the intense exercise was damaging his young body.
Results delivered yesterday confirmed those fears - with doctors warning that he will soon be a physical wreck.
Making a child this age run marathons on a regular basis will lead to him being physically burnt out in a few years, said Dr Manabendra Bhattacharya of the Sports Authority of India, who discovered that Budhia had abnormally high pulse and blood pressure readings. Its not desirable to submit such a young body to so much stress and strain. Those who think theyre doing the child a service by promoting him to run such long distances are causing him terrible damage.
