New Delhi: 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.
He asserted that the power to be a real champion comes from having cow's ghee not by eating beef.
"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.

Ramdev's statement came after the BJP MP said that there should not be any problem in eating beef for the Indian athletes. “We need gold medals. BJP never opposed it (beef)," he had said.
On August 28, Raj tweeted, "Usain Bolt of Jamaica was poor and trainer advised him to eat beef both the times and he scored nine gold medals in Olympic."

On the context of his twitter post may upset some of the party leaders, Raj had said, "Why would BJP leaders will get angry? Why would it create controversy? No controversy it in. BJP’s Line has never been to stop anyone from anything."
Ramdev who advocates vegetarianism runs a consumer brand called Patanjali across the globe.
