Rule 11:

he Association is an Amateur Association. A player, team,
official or member shall not accept payment in cash or in
kind in conjunction with the playing of Gaelic Games. A
player, team, official or member shall not contract
himself/itself to any agent other than those officially
approved by Central Council. Expenses paid to all
officials, players, and members shall not exceed the
standard rates laid down by the Central Council. Members
of the Association may not participate in full-time training.
This rule shall not prohibit the payment of salaries or
wages to employees of the Association.
Penalty: Twenty four weeks suspension or expulsion

The GAA needs to re-word - or abolish - rule 11.
