GAA to probe bite claim as ‘blase’ RTÉ slammed

The GAA are expected to launch an investigation into Meath manager Mick O’Dowd’s claim that Mickey Burke was bitten by a Dublin player, after the player’s claim was mentioned in the referee’s report.

Both counties received a copy of the report yesterday, in which Pádraig Hughes mentioned the Meath defender had informed him he was bitten.

As neither the referee nor his match officials saw the alleged incident, Hughes could not take action.
