It might be a pain but drug testing enhances the GAA

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.

You could well be dehydrated as well as deflated, and so it might take you hours to supply the required sample.

Which means either the team bus is held up waiting for you, or else you’re stuck there with maybe just a team medic as well as the testers there with you for company.
