    Drug taking in Eircom League

    Just wondering if there have been any Eircom League players who have failed drugs tests?

    Doing a small report on irish athletes failing drugs tests and can't seem to find any high profile cases for team sports in Ireland. Loads of individual athletes.

    I know Barry Ryan is one, any others? Or any other confirmed cases of irish sportspeople involved in team sports like rugby/gaa failed tests, that would be in the media domain?

    Dunno info like that isn't always made available to the media. recently a professional in the lower leagues of english football retired rather than face the music after he failed a drug test at the club.

    Whatever about the players, there's a few referees that seem to be off their tits 90% of the time.

    Drogheda's Glenn Lacey failed a drug test in 2004. http://www.rte.ie/sport/2004/0814/lacey.html
    A leading authority on League of Ireland football since 2003. You're probably wrong.

    I can never figure out who these Sligwegians are talking to. Phantom UCD fans? Ha! What a circus act.

    Barry Ryan got off lightly in the end didn't he, they cut the ban short or something like that, or did they give him his stuff back .... something like that in the end anyway.
    The SFAI are the governing body for grassroots football in Ireland, not the FAI. Its success or the lack of is all down to them.

    tbh you'd have to be on something to be a supporter of Cork City.

    Something which makes you see things - like massive crowds that aren't there...

    Agreed, everyone congratulating Rovers for getting to Tallaght - it's sickening
