Baba Ramdev is not new to making sensational statements in the media. Countering Bharatiya Janata Party MP Udit Raj's remark that beef helped Usain Bolt to win nine gold medals in Olympics, yoga teacher Ramdev on Monday said that ghee (clarified butter) makes champion and not cow meat. "It should be clear to everyone that power to be a real champion comes from having cow's ghee not by having beef," Ramdev said.
