The former professional rider apologised for 'inappropriate' behaviour when it emerged he had sent unwanted messages and photos to women
Speculation had grown about Davis' departure from the team, his name removed from the UCI website where the rest of Lotto Dstny's sports directors are listed.
Commenting at the time of Davis' omission from the team's Tour plans, a Lotto Dstny spokesperson told road.cc it is "a personal case" that"has nothing to do with the team". "There have been reports that I have engaged with other Twitter users in an 'unsolicited' manner. This is true, as over the past 15 years I have often sent direct messages to new male and female followers to thank them for following my Twitter account. This is the nature of social media, and a common practice of influencers and content creators on different social media platforms with the purpose of engaging with ones' followership base.
"I have reflected on my behaviour and have taken steps to educate myself about appropriate online conduct. I understand the importance of fostering a respectful and inclusive environment, both online and offline. Again, I sincerely apologise for my transgressions and any distress or discomfort this may have caused the persons involved."
"Allan messaged me, and he asked for a selfie pretty quickly," she tells road.cc."He played the game of 'I think I know you'. I gave him the benefit of the doubt." After the accusations were shared online, another prominent cycling-focused Twitter user publicly said that she too had been messaged privately by Davis in March, though she did not respond.
