Cork and Down’s senior footballers are to receive notice of proposed sanctions for alleged training breaches in the coming days. Collective training was due to resume on January 15 before being extended indefinitely. Last summer, GAA president John Horan warned individual responsibility for breaches would rest with county chairs. Such breaches are being considered under Rule 7.2 (e) of the GAA’s Official Guide, “misconduct considered to have discredited the Association”. The GAA’s rulebook defines collective training as “where one or more player(s) is/are required to be at a specific place at a specific time on a specific date”.
