Tipperary's Drom & Inch proposes drug testing for club players 

Stressing that their reasons for proposing the motion were not because of local experiences, Drom & Inch secretary Trevor Hassett explained: 'It was passed at our committee meeting recently. It’s something we feel should be scaled to the club players.'

Tipperary club Drom & Inch are proposing drug testing be extended from inter-county level to clubs on an appropriate scale.

According to Rule 1.16 of the GAA’s Official Guide Part I, all GAA players are subject to anti-doping rules as adopted by Sport Ireland. However, few if any footballers and hurlers outside the senior inter-county scene have been tested.
