Team Sky sports director Sean Yates is retiring from cycling but there is no link between his decision and the team's zero-tolerance anti-doping charter, the British outfit said on Sunday.
"After a long career in professional cycling, he has told us that he wants to move on, for purely personal reasons," Team Sky said in a statement.
"Sean has been interviewed and there were no admissions or disclosures that would have required him to leave the team," Sky said.
In the wake of the Lance Armstrong [ Images ] doping scandal, Team Sky asked every member of the team to sign up to a written policy saying they have no past or present involvement with doping.
The 52-year-old Yates, the 1992 British champion, joined Team Sky in 2009 and led Bradley Wiggins to the Tour de France [ Images ] title this year.
He had been one of Armstrong's sports directors at Discovery Channel in 2005.
