In one of the better kept secrets of world sports, 4
Indian athletes tested positive for a banned
substance Prednisolone sometime back.
The president & the vice president of the world
body however decided to let them go scot- free on
the basis of a prescription (drug apparently came
from a sunscreen) written almost a month after
the failed test.
More importantly, it was a day after a significant
event.

The event was introduced in 1912 but a
certain rule change in 1952 is deemed
pioneering; that ’change’ would also lead
you to the answer here

Don’t need a proper noun here; just the funda shall do

 In 1964, perhaps the greatest all rounder of
all time, Sir Garry Sobers turned out in a few
exhibition matches in Bermuda.
 Describing his performance, DonWilson, the
former England spinner, said: “Within half an
hour, he had shared eight wickets with [Fred]
Trueman. Not only that but, as we batted on
after achieving an easy victory, he also scored
a century."

 Man in pic is Jack Mayer,
he is said to tried his hand
on a ‘certain kind of
delivery’ to get Godfery
Evans out in a match
between Somerset & Kent
in 1946.
 That thus remains the
second instance in the
‘real’ world that someone
did so; the first, as we now
know formed the basis of a
celebrated work.
Description of ball:
The ball would be lobbed such that it would land directly on the stumps

 In an attempt to debunk what many
considered a myth, FIFA appointed Rogerio
Lopez Zilli in 2011 to conduct an independent
research.
 After what he described as an “extremely
strenuous time”, he reached a figure which
was marginally more than what FIFA had,
thus jeopardising a much celebrated event
from Nov 19, 1969.

In 1946, the 23-year-old
Ivor Broadis became the
youngest player-manager
in the history of the
Football League at Carlisle.
He soon relinquished his
position in an interesting
way though & eventually
turning out for Man City &
Newcastle (also scored for
England at 1954WC)

standing debate.What precisely?

Describing the innovation, Sanjay Kohli, owner RK Sports
mentioned, “The hook is the most important part. Seven pieces
of mulberry wood go in to making it and till recently, it wouldn’t
look shiny as the cracks were visible; with this (the innovation)
though, we manage to negate that.”

1988, and 1992, lawn tennis at
the Olympics saw a rule which
is usually associated with some
other sports. However, after
Barcelona (when it was
implemented for the final
time), much to the anguish of
many, it was unanimously
decided to discontinue it.
