GAA Hopefully, by the time you read this, we will have some idea of the Allianz hurling and football league schedules. Our source informs us that the fixtures “should be available late in the week, but the GAA are wary of putting them out too early in case it puts more focus on the return to training”. Is it something to do with the Irish psyche that clearly laid-out training bans can’t be properly adhered to, as we have seen with high-profile breaches, or is it something that’s innate in all top-level sportsmen and sportswomen, the need to try to get an advantage – fair or unfair – on the competition?
