Mulvihill: Doctors duty-bound not to toe the line on new rules

Kildare senior football team doctor Danny Mulvihill will openly contravene the new sideline regulations this weekend.

Mulvihill, chairman of the Gaelic Games Doctors Association (GGDA), said it would a dereliction of his duty as a GP to the team were he to sit in the stands.

According to the new rule, which comes into formal operation this weekend, only one medic is permitted on pitchside, with the obvious choice for most county teams being the physio.
