PARIS — 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 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. In the wake of the Lance Armstrong 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 joined Team Sky in 2009 and led Bradley Wiggins to the Tour de France title this year. — Reuters
