Limerick forward Peter Casey has shared results of a drug test he took in order to clear his name after rumours which spread across social media today.

A video taken from Instagram shows a friend handing Casey something on a night out in a Kerry pub, with insinuations growing on social media that they had taken an illicit substance.

The 22-year-old insists that what was passed to him in the video was merely his change from a round of drinks which were purchased.

As first reported by the Limerick Leader this evening, Casey took a drugs test today, along with three others whom were on the night out, and posted the results online so as to clear his name and try and quash the rumours which have been whirling since the video first surfaced.

In a post which he addressed to some of his team colleagues, 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.” 

He added: "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."
