Is she considered a Hindu God in her native country?
I'm surprised this article was posted by Rojo and not that Pinoyathletics guy.
I'm surprised Rojo didn't notice the "pop growth pills" part.
6 toes could be an advantage depending on the physics.

And a disadvantage when shopping for shoes... ;-)
Could this be Cynthia?
So? Who cares if she runs win 6 toes? I run with a third leg all the time and no one blows me out of proportion.
?
I know a girl with six toes.
It's the latest Asian doping scandal. First there was EPO, then microdosing, now they are genetically engineering their athletes to have additional toes! Where will it all end?
I read an article about her before the Asian shames, where the focus was her hardship of finishing the right shoes to handle her feet as she receives little to no funding in India AND they don’t make shoes wide enough to handle her feet in her country.
The pay condition in India is really worse.
Till National comes, the prize money is close to NIL (like INR 7000 or $100USD for National Champions). and as far as I know Adidas sponsor only National level winners and provide them with sponsorship money of $1k-1.5K annual salary. That's it.
The incentives are really low in the country. And government only gives hefty money once the win Asian Games or Olympic medals.
Since fitness culture is booming in India. Long distance runners are making good money. And for IAAF certified races like ADHM, Mumbai MArathon Marathon and TCS 10k are good money making places for long distance runners.
Other then that there is no way athletes are making money in the country.
I’d like to hear more about the “growth pills” she was taking.
