Tomás Ó Sé: No place in GAA for doping

Kerry legend Tomás Ó Sé described the use of performance enhancing drugs in sports as ‘reckless.’

Ó Sé, who revealed he was fearful of using many over-the-counter medicines that could have contained banned substances, was reacting to the news that a Monaghan footballer failed a drugs test earlier this year.

“The ethos of the GAA is amateur and there are ways of getting an edge on an opponent but taking a performance-enhancing substance is not one of them,” said Ó Sé at the launch of RTÉ’s Championship coverage.
