White leaves Orica-GreenEdge as anti-doping review announced

Matt White, 2012

Matt White has left his post as directeur sportif at the Orica-GreenEdge team, the Australian squad announced on Thursday.

Two weeks ago White was dismissed as head coach of the Australian national cycling team after admitting to doping during his time on the US Postal team. White had temporarily stepped down from his position at the Orica-GreenEdge WorldTour team pending a review by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority (ASADA), but has now been dismissed after discussions with the squad.

Nigel Wynn
Former Associate Editor

Nigel Wynn worked as associate editor on CyclingWeekly.com, he worked almost single-handedly on the Cycling Weekly website in its early days. His passion for cycling, his writing and his creativity, as well as his hard work and dedication, were the original driving force behind the website’s success. Without him, CyclingWeekly.com would certainly not exist on the size and scale that it enjoys today. Nigel sadly passed away, following a brave battle with a cancer-related illness, in 2018. He was a highly valued colleague, and more importantly, an exceptional person to work with - his presence is sorely missed.
