Sheahan backs O’Mahony’s bid to clear his name

RUGBY star Frankie Sheahan last night urged Kerry’s Aidan O’Mahony to “be on the front foot from day one” in the legal bid to clear his name following revelations of a ‘failed’ drugs test.

Asthma sufferer O’Mahony, 28, has been suspended by the GAA after details emerged of an “adverse finding” from a sample taken after the All-Ireland final loss to Tyrone.

The indications are that the case is remarkably similar to that of Munster ace Sheahan, who was banned for two years for illegal use of Salbutamol, the medicine contained in a Ventolin inhaler.
