On 29 November 2012, it was announced that Exergy Development Group would drop its sponsorship of cycling for 2013, citing the doping scandals that had occurred recently, namely the USADA doping investigation of Lance Armstrong and the U.S. Postal Service cycling team.[3] As a result, the team collapsed.[4]
