Forden Drug Cheats, bad.
Irish Drug Cheats, good - like Irish drink drivers so to speak.

You mean if he hadn't taken a banned substance?

Dan Jaman

"Everyone understands all the nuances and the ins and outs at this stage", says Joe.


WTF does that mean?

We're awfully unlucky with athletes taking stimulants accidentally in this country.

We have the same number of Olympians who took banned substances (that we know of) as our total gold medal count.

Terrible unlucky, every time...

Harry Angstrom

It's a case of "dem pesky Russian drug cheats" and the poor unfortunate Irish sportspeople who took something by mistake.

We're not unlucky. We actually excel at illegal substance taking. Per capita, we have a higher rate of testing failures than most countries.

Our number of elite athletes is quite low, yet we manage to fail a LOT of tests. And no one asks any questions.......

He must have collected cash donations and now looks like an idiot so wants to shift blame.

Sounds like a yob.

Lads beaten up, thrown in the boots of stolen cars and driven round the speed bumps in Portlaoise, allegedly.
