A number of counties have been fined for missing drug tests administered by the GAA.

Donegal and Kildare footballers were also fined. The story is in today's Irish Examiner and the information was obtained through the Freedom of information act.

Davy Fitzgerald says the tests were missed simply because Clare changed training venues late on and they have now taken steps to stay in touch with the Irish sports council who administer the tests.

The story in today’s Irish Examiner was written by Kevin O’Brien and John Fogarty and Fogarty spoke to me about the findings and possible ramifications.
