BASKETBALL
NBA: Forward Matt Barnes, 30, said he will opt out of the final year of his contract with the Orlando Magic to become a free agent.
Barnes had said for months he would likely make the move, hoping to get a long-term deal to return to Orlando.
He made his intentions official after the team’s end-of-season meeting.
FOOTBALL
NFL: Charleston, W. Va., attorney Tim DiPiero says he’s been let go as the agent for New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss.
DiPiero said Moss, who is entering his 13th NFL season, told him he no longer needs an agent.
DiPiero says he’s still rooting for Moss to get an elusive Super Bowl ring before he retires.
DiPiero’s association with Moss goes back 15 years to when he was the player’s attorney after Moss’ senior year in high school.
CYCLING
VALVERDE BANNED: Spanish cyclist Alejandro Valverde, 30, received a global two-year ban for his connection to a blood-doping ring, but was allowed to keep his 2009 Spanish Vuelta victory.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in favor of the International Cycling Union and World Anti-Doping Agency, which wanted Valverde sanctioned for suspected doping revealed in a 2006 Spanish scandal known as Operation Puerto. Valverde cannot compete until January 2012.
WADA President John Fahey said he was “pleased” the case was resolved in its favor.
CAS said its panel of three arbitrators voted 2-1 that Valverde broke anti-doping rules four years ago.
