Hyderabad: The Sports Authority of India (SAI), Indian Olympic Association (IOA) and the Union Sports Ministry joined hands to help the former athletes and coaches who are affected with the dreaded coronavirus.

The three have created a website which allows any former national, international athlete or coach suffering from the coronavirus to upload the details and the respective State representative will follow it up and provide financial, medical and logistical support.
