Jim Gavin hits out at drug tests straight after title victory

Jim Gavin chose the platform of Dublin’s fourth consecutive Allianz football league title win to launch a surprise attack on GAA drug-testing procedures.

Gavin’s side etched their names in history at Croke Park as the first team since the Kerry side of the early 1970s to claim spring silverware four seasons in a row.

But the two-time All-Ireland-winning manager moved to play down the achievement afterwards, pointing out that the competition ranks lower than the provincial championships and the All-Ireland series.
