Yep agree with all of that.RoboProp wrote: ↑July 25th, 2022, 9:01 amTuohy has been rather vocal (attention seeky if you ask me) off the pitch his whole career, so I'm not too surprised that at the end of his his career in the PD2 he takes some mail order roids to prolong his career.wixfjord wrote: ↑July 24th, 2022, 6:55 pm Fair play to Kimmage for uncovering this. Really good journalism. It's a big story that shouldn't be brushed under the rug.
As usual though with Kimmage, he's trying to make it into a much bigger 'conspiracy' on that reading.
As for Tuohy, no sympathy for him at all. He has come across as a pr!*k on a few occasions.
No way should he be involved at an academy level with Malone either.
Kimmage has been trying to get the hot scoop on PEDs in Irish rugby for sometime, I have always suspected it's why himself and Drico parted ways on Drico's autobiography. Kimmage wanted warts and all, Drico wanted to sell books and continue to do his media stuff.
If Kimmage thinks Tuohy is his smoking gun he needs to dust off his mac again, as the Tuohy story all seems rather rinky dink than systemic. He ordered the pills online which in of itself is beyond idiotic, he's a father of 2 he could have been putting any auld rubbish (more toxic that roids) into himself. I would think the people in rugby in Ireland who do take PEDs are not very high up the food chain, and that PEDs usage is by individuals choice rather than a club telling them this is what they need do to hit the next level.
Agree 100% absolutely no way he should be involved in coaching.
I do think it's a big story though (is he the first former Irish international to admit taking knowingly taking performance enhancing drugs?) but as you say hardly a 'smoking gun' given the context.
I also don't know why Kimmage things the IRFU should be aware of what happens in the ProD2. Unless they're searching a WADA database consistently then there's no reason for them to be notified that a player not contracted to them has been pinged.
