Sean Cavanagh: Players willing to take risk on banned substances

Veteran Tyrone star Sean Cavanagh believes some inter-county players are “taking the chance” and using banned substances to give them a vital edge.

The three-time All-Ireland medallist was speaking in the context of new anti-doping measures, in place since January 1, which allow for drug testers to ask players for both blood and urine samples.

Cavanagh said he had no problem with being asked to provide blood as well as urine, though he hit out at the amount of time the whole process can take.
