Cycling review recommends reinstating Matt White Matt White. Confessed doper Matt White should be immediately reinstated as a boss of Australia's professional road cycling team, Orica-GreenEDGE, according to recommendations in an independent review. Sports director Neil Stephens should also retain his position, according to the report's author, anti-doping expert Nicki Vance, and should receive no sanctions or workplace penalty as long as all team members are informed about his past and Orica-GreenEDGE acknowledges it publicly. After a four-month interview process, Vance produced a report for Orica-GreenEDGE that she admitted was limited, chiefly because of the continuing uncertainty in cycling about how past doping offences should be treated. "This is not to say that anyone necessarily had something to hide," Vance concluded after interviewing 27 male Orica-GreenEDGE riders, 21 staff and 10 female cyclists. However, if they had doped or assisted others to dope in the past, they would most likely have remained silent. Vance reported "no admission" in her interviews "other than the already known cases of Matt White and Neil Stephens." Other key points in the review that is now before Orica-GreenEDGE's hierarchy, headed by Australian businessman Gerry Ryan, include: ■That any team member yet to confess past doping make it known by June 30 in order to be eligible for a reduced suspension from Orica-GreenEDGE. ■That any future recruit be "specifically asked about any doping practices from the past." ■That the team consider imposing fines on any riders who miss doping tests. ■The view of Orica-GreenEDGE general manager and ex-Cycling Australia boss, Shayne Bannan, that "cycling has been put in the situation where too much money is being spent on anti-doping." ■That Orica-GreenEDGE should promote "clean" riding more actively once it has dealt with "the known doping cases of the past." ■Acknowledgment from riders and staff that it would be "naive" to think doping doesn't continue in cycling, but that it is now "an individual rider's decision to dope." ■Acknowledgment that "the public perception of cycling at this point in time is very poor." White, an ex-teammate of Lance Armstrong's, admitted to doping after he was named in the US Anti-Doping Agency's investigation into the now shamed seven-time Tour de France victor. Vance recommends that White be welcomed back given he has admitted his past doping sins and served a sanction.
