Sport Ireland want to drug test Gaelic players in their homes

Inter-county Gaelic players have yet to receive their Government grants from last year as the Gaelic Players Association (GPA) have not signed up to the Sport Ireland’s new drug testing measures, which include providing home addresses for home doping tests.

Footballers and hurlers yesterday were sent a message from acting CEO Seamus Hickey, who explained the “neither fair or reasonable” reason for the delay in them receiving the monies due. Hickey stated that players are currently compliant with the rules and the feedback from players is wholly opposed to the idea of home drug-testing.
