TONY Kelly (TKO, Evening Press, Tuesday, April 19) implies criticism of Paula Radcliffe taking a pee in the street.

Don't criticise anyone until you have walked a mile in their shoes -- in this case run a good few.

Given this unlikely case, what would Tony Kelly have done?

It has happened before in a Test match but there was no mention in the press. The Swantons and the Arlotts knew the line between good and poor taste.

How standards and reporting have deteriorated.
