A fan – either a girl or a boy – jumping the fence, sprinting across the field, touching their favourite cricketer’s feet, hugging them, or trying to click a quick selfie before being escorted away by security officials.

Shocking, right? But it actually happened.
MONACO (AP) — Track and field investigators have classed India as an “extremely high” risk for doping and imposed stricter testing on athletes from Botswana including a stellar men’s sprint team ahead of the 2027 world championships.
