Dundee-born cycling coach Kevin Stewart has left British Cycling over alleged “long-term pattern of inappropriate behaviour” with riders.
The governing body claimed there has been repeated warnings about Mr Stewart’s behaviour.
The sprint coach, who represented Scotland in the 2010 Commonwealth Games, is said to have fallen “short of the values and standards expected”.
However, an investigation on Mr Stewart did not find physical evidence of a relationship with any rider.
Nevertheless, he “wholeheartedly apologised” for his actions, admitting they were “not acceptable”.
Mr Stewart said: “I realised my actions had made my position on the team untenable and had handed in my resignation before being dismissed while on my notice period.”
Stephen Park, performance director for British Cycling, said: “While this has been uncomfortable for everybody concerned, it demonstrates the robustness of the processes we have in place when concerns are raised.
“The GB Cycling Team has a clear set of expected behaviours and values and we must hold ourselves and each other to account when we do not meet the standards of behaviour we set as a team.”
