I am wondering how much will cost his doctor visit. This is very unhealthy competition, can end up with liver damage....20K may be not enough for medical treatment...

maybe it would be enough in India, in USA may not be enough for any surgery if needed...
one doctor check up can cost as much as $800........

How is his heart? He must practice through the year so he eats a lot of fake food!! That can't be healthy!! I wonder if he does a detox after he finishes the competition!
