Stark new anti-doping ad shows cheating tars everyone involved in sport

The Irish Sports Council have launched a new campaign.

THE IRISH SPORTS Council have released a new anti-doping promo called ‘Blackmark’.

The black and white ad is designed to show the residual negative impact cheating has on all sports from cycling to rugby, swimming to gymnastics.

The ISC say:

“The discipline, talent and sheer effort that elite athletes put into their work is mind-blowing. That’s why it’s so crushing to fellow athletes, the sporting industry and the public when a doping scandal is uncovered. If the playing field isn’t fair, what’s the point in playing or even being a spectator?”

    Absolutely terrible decision that has to be a red card , high speed neck high challenge to stop a goal scoring opportunity. Very generous refereeing for Galway in that first half

    That was one seriously dangerous challenge and he should have walked . The short conversation with linesman had me convinced he was gone.

    Galway can’t complain about refereeing, got 2 points from soft overcarrying decisions and should have had 14 men for the whole 2nd half

    It was disgusting to see half of the Kilkenny crowd leave before the cup was presented, talk about arrogance.
    Galway could have won it but the Cats ‘re the best for a reason, great second half display by them.
    Maybe next year Galway…

    Well done, Galway. A few stats! Galway all Ireland Intermediate champs, All Ireland Minor Champs, and 2nd best Senior team in the country…and the Ladies to come yet…Not bad, I suggest…
    Keep it going, Galway.
    Great Kilkenny team, no argument. But they will be stopped sometime!!

    Great Galway display, against an indisputable set of Kilkenny legends. No doubt about that. But just remember a little stat (to the knockers!). Galway= all Ireland Intermediate champs, All Ireland Minor Champs and 2nd best Seniors in the country and all for 2015. And the Ladies Camogie has to come yet in the all Ireland… Not bad stats? So, Galway, well done, a credit to yourselves. And under great leadership.
