On Morning Ireland this morning, a medic implied that the Sports Council hadn't acknowledged receipt of O'Mahony's forms, and in fact don't acknowledge anyone's 'exclusion' forms, so team doctors don't and can't know what players can and can't take.  Oh, they don't acknowledge the forms, becuase it would be too expensive to do so - and the breakdown of the system's the GAA's fault??

This is why drug testing will never work fully - It costs way too much.
Think of all the drugs or options an athlete has? Thousands.
Even Wada only test for a select few - so you can still get away with it if you're smart....

I don't understand your point, shouldn't the player CC his team doctor on any forms like that? It doesn't sound hard.
