Kimmage had brought his book and historical stories in the media, all of which he said were evidence of what he had had to endure for his anti doping stance.
Fitzgerald insisted to Kimmage that they both wanted the same thing; clean sport. But he said the way Dublin had played was cynical rather than cheating.
And he point to Kimmage's doping, for a short period during his career, as a better example of cheating.
Kimmage said he had never tried to hide what he had done but insisted he was not a bully.
But Fitzgerald said many people in rugby did not want to have dialogue with Kimmage because they regarded him as aggressive and bullying.
The row between the two blew up on Twitter in February. And it exploded again since the All Ireland when Fitzgerald took on Kimmage over his branding of the Dublin footballers as cheaters.
