Drugs in UK sports....

[Dinny Breen]

I just realised, I misread your last sentence. Are you saying you *don't* have a problem with sportmen and women trying to use illegal PEDs to win things? JEsus, I'd be 180 degrees from you in that case.

I would love all sports to be clean but it's just not going to happen, competitors use PEDs in the Paralympics ffs How depressing is that

Between financial doping and actual doping there are few sports that you can sit back and really enjoy anymore where you know it your heart and soul it's not a level playing field.

I just accept that it's no longer fair, I want Leicester to now win the EPL but I look at their lack of injuries, I look at their body shapes, I look at their work rate and I just wonder...

If I thought you had to dope to win at Gaelic Football or Hurling, I would quit being involved in it, or coaching. I'd hate it.

[LeoMc]

Yeah, I'm sure lads in the GAA are taking stuff, but I thought it was unusual you didn't list Rugby, which has undergone the most obvious changes in body shape, and style of game.

I don't, genuinely, think a lot of lads in the GAA are taking steroids or the like, but I'd say there are some dodgy supplements around.

Creatine, caffine pills, red bull....

I don't think you coach to win, I think you like me coach to develop and watch young men fulfill their potential and become a better player and a better person. Football and Hurling will never be in the same bracket as the above sports because of less financial reward but on a individual level players will take drugs to improve endurance and to help with recovery, they already do. It's out nature we want to win..

[AZOffaly]

I coach for both reasons. And some day I hope to coach at adult level, and win

ASthma Inhalers! But that's going since I was playing. All the smokers used to suck on an inhaler before a game..

The new Eugene Magee..

[AZOffaly]

God I hope not. Although going by recent developments here in Tipp, it might have to be back in Offaly I go!

For a greater sense of satisfaction stay coaching kids - Don't think I'll ever coach adult teams again

I've coached at Adult level. I enjoyed it. I enjoy the challenge. Next time I even hope to win

I'm with Declan, no interest in coaching at adult level ever.

Have done both, always prefer coaching kids. Massive challenge coaching adults, develop a squad and create competition for places, you will always me missing players so need depth and competition drives standards and removes complacency.

Fair play AZ - each to their own
