Second Captains 20/08 - Sean Kelly on drugs and jealousy, Tyrone paranoia, hurling hype

Sean Kelly was the world’s number 1 cyclist for five years, and was one of the most beloved Irish sportspeople worldwide throughout the Eighties. He also failed two drugs tests, and was at times overshadowed by his compatriot Stephen Roche. He discusses his new book ‘Hunger’ with Eoin today.Tyrone have had a bizarre lead-in to their All-Ireland semi-final against Mayo this weekend, with conspiracy theories, fact sheets and tackle counts looming large. Three time All-Ireland winner Enda McGinley and Malachy Clerkin of The Irish Times discuss whether their paranoia is justified, and how this might impact on Mayo. We also look at Clare / Limerick and hurling hype with Derek Lyng and Nicky English, Pat McQuaid the journalist, Brolly the barrister, good drugs, and the Davy Fitz death stare.Contact us on twitter @SecondCaptains, email the show SecondCaptains@Irishtimes.com and follow us on facebook.com/secondcaptains.
