Lance Armstrong's former US Postal team-mate Matt White sacked by Cycling Australia after doping report As the sport continues to reel from the report, which has now been handed to the International Cycling Union (UCI) who are expected to ratify the USADA's stripping of Armstrong's seven Tour de France titles, both professional cycling teams and governing bodies have been carrying out their own internal investigations into riders linked with US Postal. Less than 24 hours after Levi Leipheimer, a former US Postal team-mate of White, was sacked by his Omega Pharma-Quick Step team, the Australian's own governing body have now cut their ties with the Sydneysider. Cycling Australia said in a statement on Wednesday that White's involvement with the national set-up was "against the best interests of the sport. The admissions contained within his public statement of Oct 13 clearly place him in breach of the Cycling Australia Anti-Doping Policy and Code of Conduct. Accordingly, the board has determined that his ongoing employment with Cycling Australia is untenable and Matt was formally advised overnight of the termination of his contract. Despite Cycling Australia's laudable stance, the governing body were fully aware of White's past before employing him after he was linked with Dr Luis Garcia del Moral, the controversial doctor who was recently banned for life for his involvement in doping. In January 2011 White was sacked from his role as directeur sportif at Slipstream Sports's Garmin-Cervelo team after it was revealed that he had referred a rider to Del Moral and thus broken Slipstream's anti-doping policy. Meanwhile, Cycling Australia added that the UCI, who have received widespread criticism for their failure to control the sport, had "failed to fully and properly do its part to stamp out doping." How the UCI responds to the USADA file and how it addresses the allegations within it will be critical to the reputation of the organisation and that of the sport of cycling.
