Kimmage reveals Walsh row

Paul Kimmage has admitted he may never again speak to his one-time colleague David Walsh.

The journalists are credited with exposing Lance Armstrong’s part in the world of doping in cycling. However, a row developed in July after The Sunday Times writer’s defence of Team Sky and its Tour de France winner Chris Froome. Walsh claimed the “mob” were wrong about Froome the same way they were wrong about Armstrong.

Kimmage took the comment personally : “I found it insulting in some ways, I’ve got to be honest.”
