In 2003, Mori was involved in a doping incident, when, during the Tirreno Adriatico, he had to give a urine test, and a hidden can of urine was found. Mori and his team leader Gabriele di Francesco were sent home.[2] His urine sample came back negative, but the Italian Olympic Committee continued the investigation into possible fraud.[3]

At the end of 2009, when it was not certain if Lampre would renew his contract, Mori decided that he would end his 15-year career if Lampre did not renew his contract.[4]
