Galway hurling board chairman Miko Ryan has been suspended for eight weeks arising from a sideline incident involving a selector during last Saturday week's Leinster SHC semi-final against Kilkenny. The news has rocked the Galway hurling board, which Ryan has been chairman of for over a decade. An internal investigation found that Ryan clashed with selector John Moylan during the second half of the high-profile Tullamore tie, which Galway lost to the All-Ireland champions by four points. The suspension of such a senior official could prove a distraction for Galway manager John McIntyre and his players as they prepare for Saturday week's difficult All-Ireland qualifier against Clare in Ennis. Similar to players who are suspended, Ryan has the right of appeal. Tweet
