The university fired associate athletics director Merlene Aitken and suspended top athletic trainer Roland Lovelace with pay, The News & Record of Greensboro reported Wednesday.
The newspaper reported earlier this month that a public records request uncovered an Aug. 17 e-mail from Lovelace to nine coaches and to Aitken asking coaches not to have student athletes tested until they were selected to a collegiate team.
“The reason for this is that the student health center is charging the athletic department for this test to be done,” Lovelace wrote.
