Male GAA players drug-tested 453 times since 2011

Male GAA players were drug tested 10 times more than their female counterparts in the last five years.

The figures, obtained from the Irish Sports Council by The Limerick Voice, show that in the last five years, 453 drug tests have taken place in hurling and gaelic football while only 42 took place in ladies gaelic football and camogie.

The findings show that male GAA players were tested 95 times throughout the year but their counterparts in ladies gaelic football and camogie each had only four players tested.
