Matthew Richardson's decision to switch allegiance from Australia to Great Britain post-Olympics led to an AusCycling review which deemed a two-year non-competition clause unenforceable.
The AusCycling review found that Richardson acted in a manner conflicted with the values of the cycling community, especially his request to delay nationality disclosure until after the Olympics.
Richarson's intentions to take AusCycling property overseas represented an unacceptable risk to the organization's intellectual property, highlighting concerns related to athlete loyalty.
AusCycling imposed sanctions barring Richardson from rejoining the Australian team, using its resources, and eligibility for awards, yet these actions had limited enforceability.
