Mulvihill warns many doctors will quit if barred from sideline

GAA doctors’ chief Danny Mulvihill has warned he and other inter-county medics will quit if the new sideline regulations aren’t relaxed.

Kildare football team doctor Mulvihill openly contravened the rule in Saturday’s Division 1 game against Donegal in Croke Park.

Only one medic is now permitted to be positioned on the sideline yet Mulvihill, chairman of the Gaelic Games Doctors’ Association, insisted on being pitch-side along with the Kildare physio.
