O’Gara in the clear as ‘bite’ probe over

Dublin footballer Eoghan O’Gara is in the clear after disciplinary chiefs opted not to pursue allegations of biting during Sunday’s Leinster football final.

It’s understood a lack of evidence was cited by the GAA’s Central Competitions Control Committee (CCCC) when they contacted both counties yesterday to confirm the news.

Meath were initially contacted on Monday afternoon and given 24 hours to submit their version of events after allegations by manager Mick O’Dowd on Sunday evening that defender Mickey Burke was bitten.
