SYDNEY (AP) - The Australian Olympic Committee has signed an agreement with its Cuban counterpart to allow the countries to share resources in developing athletes and coaches.
The AOC said Thursday it will share information on sports science, sports medicine and the construction of facilities with the COC, as well as "provide a platform for academic exchange in an effort to raise the level of sport in the respective countries."
AOC President John Coates said the countries will also cooperate in the fight against doping.
The agreement is initially valid for four years.
