Round 2.
Luke Fitzgerald and Paul Kimmage got in a bit of a Twitter spat last year over comments the latter made about the All-Ireland football final between Dublin and Mayo.
Kimmage thought they cheated to win the game, with Fitzgerald outraged that Kimmage would use that word, especially considering the former cyclist previously admitted to doping in the sport.
The spat resulted in Fitzgerald inviting him on to his podcast The Left Wing, resulting in a heated exchange between the two, leaving their relationship even more worse off at the end of it.
Things have now kicked off again this year, with Fitzgerald attacking Kimmage again for his comments on Munster’s Gerbrandt Grobler, who is set to make his competitive debut for the southern province this weekend.
Grobler has previously served a two-year doping ban, with Munster head coach Johann van Graan defending him this week, claiming the lock has learnt his lesson. Kimmage launched an attack yesterday, and Fitzgerald was having none of it.
Take steroids kids, because you’ll get a contract with Munster and a hug from Johann van Graan…Sure “everybody in life makes mistakes”https://t.co/eczaVqkf7t

So we shouldn’t forgive you then, as you’re a drug cheat too. We’re actually in complete agreement on this point

Run along now sonny. You’ve wasted enough of my time.

Resorting to condescension can’t shield you from the truth Paul. It only makes you look more of a bully than you already are

I’ve never had a problem with truth, Luke. But I struggle with idiots.

Idiot,wow, nice and aggressive-true to form. Unfortunately a bad decision during your cycling career has your wagon hitched to people like Gerbrant Grobler forever in a sporting context.Enjoy living with that knowledge

Aggressive? Not at all, I’m actually laughing at you.
