GAA expresses concern about players' creatine use

The use of creatine by GAA players is set to come under the microscope in the next year as the GAA, along with the Irish Sports Council, look to monitor the use of the controversial substance by its members.

Dr Pat Duggan, chairman of the GAA's Medical, Scientific and Welfare Committee, conceded that while it was his belief that the use of creatine by GAA players was "not that prevalent", he said that his committee would be addressing the issue over the next year.
