    Kilkenny v Galway :::::
    All players should be required to give a urine sample for drug testing purposes before they leave their dressing rooms. Is there a test ?

    The GAA have signed up for WADA.
    Anti-Doping This page provides up-to-date information from World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), Irish Sports Council and GAA rules and regulations in the area of doping.

    Under the Irish Sports Council Act 1999, the Council was given the task of combating doping in sport. Immediately the Council established the Irish Sport Anti-Doping Programme, which was launched in the autumn of 1999. It comprises three main elements; testing, education and research. The Council is proud to have put in place a programme that is recognised nationally and internationally as being of the highest quality.

    As such, the GAA as a national sports body must adhere to these guidelines and rules. In July 2001 the GAA agreed to begin drug testing of Senior inter-county players as part of an agreement with the Irish Sports Council and their policy to cooperate with an international anti-doping campaign.
