Limerick hurler Peter Casey has posted an image online of a drugs test which he took in an effort to 'clear his name'.
The 2018 All-Ireland winner did so after accusations were made on social media that he had consumed an illegal substance on a night out. That accusation was accompanied by a video of Casey and friends in a bar.
As reported by the Limerick Leader, Casey wrote:
Well boys, I'm sure ye have all seen the video on social media of me in the last few days and I'd just like to reassure ye that it's not what it looks like.
Since it happened me and the 3 lads have completed a drugs test and results have all come back clear.
I would like to post my own drug test results which was taken from an independent body known as EHA on the 27th of August, which shows conclusive evidence.
We’ve also received video footage from the night in question which shows Evan, my friend, coming from the bar with the drinks and hands me my change.
I would like to think that ye would all know me long enough, and well enough to know that these accusations are totally false!!
I'd appreciate it if ye could send these videos and the picture into yere different Whatsapp groups to try and clear my name.
The Na Piarsaigh forward, who was Man of the Match in this year's Munster final, also included this image of the test.
