 "Australian cycling team fires director over doping")
Australian professional road cycling team Orica-GreenEDGE has fired team director Matt White, two weeks after he also lost his part-time job with Cycling Australia for admitting to doping during his racing career. White, who was formerly professional men’s coordinator with Cycling Australia, confessed to doping following the release of evidence in the Lance Armstrong doping case that saw the American rider lose his seven Tour de France titles.

Orica-GreenEDGE also announced in a statement Thursday a review of its anti-doping policies and procedures. Team owner said Gerry Ryan said “our commitment to being clean has been a foundation principle … since the day of its inception.” AP
