ESRI: 90% of inter-county players use supplements

Research by the Economic and Social Research Institute has revealed a number of alarming findings about Gaelic players, including unmonitored supplement use among inter-county players and education choices based on their playing pursuits.

Following up on last year’s study which found inter-county footballers and hurlers were committing up to 31 hours a week to their teams, the ESRI has published further details on how they are influenced by what they do in county colours.
