Sport Ireland (SI) have confirmed there has been no developments in their stand-off with the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) about furnishing the home addresses of inter-county players.

Just over 70 gardaí have been trained in how to use the new roadside drug testing devices.

Garda Sergeants and Inspectors say it may be some time before roadside drug testing is actually carried out by the force, despite the announcement that it can commence from tomorrow.

From tomorrow Gardaí will be able to test drivers for drugs on the roadside.

Drug testing for motorists looks set to be introduced by Christmas.

There can be few things more irksome and irritating as a GAA player than losing a game in Croke Park and then finding you’re one of the players being drug-tested straight after.
