On this week's episode of The Left Wing, Luke Fitzgerald and Will Slattery are joined in studio by Sunday Independent columnist Paul Kimmage. 
Kimmage takes Fitzgerald up on a tweet where the former Ireland international referred to the ex-pro cyclist's use of amphetamines, while Fitzgerald was unhappy with Kimmage characterising Dublin pulling down Mayo players late on in the All-Ireland final as 'cheating'.
The trio also tackled the topic of pain-killer use in rugby, and whether players are going over the line in the quest to take the field - with Kimmage and Fitzgerald having different views on the matter.
Having played for ten years in the professional game, Fitzgerald was also vehement that he had never seen any doping in rugby.
