GPA frown on Lucozade nixer as Flynn mixes his drinks

THE Gaelic Players’ Association said yesterday that Paul Flynn is about to withdraw from his controversial endorsement of Lucozade Sport - but doubts remain over the Waterford star’s intentions.

Flynn’s involvement with Lucozade Sport became a major talking-point this week, as it conflicted with his membership of the GPA and his active endorsement of the GPA’s chosen energy drink, Club Energise.

The GPA receives between 4c and 5c of every bottle of Club Energise sold in Ireland, and Flynn also benefited personally from his individual promotion of Club Energise. So his tie-up with Lucozade Sport raised eyebrows.
