Kerala HC rules in favour of Raghavan, but too late

KOCHI: Kerala High Court on Wednesday asked the Athletics Federation of India (AFI) to include Kerala athlete Anu Raghavan in the Indian 4x400 metres women’s relay squad for the upcoming Rio Olympics. But the order has come too late as the AFI informed the court that the last date for the inclusion was over on July 18 and it was not possible to include her now. Raghavan had approached the high court stating that she had a better performance than Ashwini Akkunji, who is a part of the Olympic team.
