Track cyclist Matthew Richardson, who left Australia to compete for Great Britain, is reportedly under investigation over misconduct allegations. Australian media, including Nine, say cycling authorities have launched a probe into the sprinter following his switch of national allegiance. The news is drawing strong reaction in Australia, where his departure already caused controversy.

Why now: Richardson's high-profile switch from Australia to Great Britain was already contentious, and the new misconduct allegations have intensified interest.
