Lotto Dstny sack sports director Allan Davis after allegations of misconduct
Cycling
Australian Allan Davis has been fired from his position as sports director at Lotto Dstny it has been reported following allegations of misconduct against the 42-year-old.
Davis was pulled from his duties at the Tour de France after these allegations became public with Lotto Dstny releasing a statement on the matter at the time and saying to Het Nieuwsblad; “It is a personal matter. This has nothing to do with Lotto Dstny. We do not want private matters to be mixed with team matters."
Now though, according to both Wielerflits and Het Laatste Nieuws Davis is gone completely from the team. The Aussie had been in his role since 2022, mainly working alongside his compatriot and the team's star sprinter, Caleb Ewan.
“Without going into details, it has been decided to stop the collaboration with Allan,” CEO Stephane Heulot, explains on the team's official website. “Lotto Dstny has its own values and standards which we apply in our daily work and in the team. We have a line that we do not deviate from and we require our employees to adhere to it. We prioritize the well-being and integrity of our team and a further collaboration was therefore impossible.”
More like they are dissociating themselves from Caleb and this is just an excuse to get Rid of his entourage. Just a personal matter is just not enough to fire anyone.
So Lotto says it is a personal matter, but still they sack him.

- It's kinda crazy that people who make a living in professional sport don't understand how competition works. You have the sport. You have pharmaceuticals which may improve performance. You test for as many as you can. If you pass the tests, you keep your result. It's only in cycling that a substantial minority think that all results should be provisional for 15 years. In nearly every other sport, people watch and enjoy what they see, or if they don't like what goes into producing what they see, they don't watch.
Barney10-04-2025 - It is pretty cool that a Grand Tour rider is even riding Paris-Roubaix, much less in the discussion for a podium. This is a throwback across many generations of cyclists to the pillars of Hinault and Merckx. Enjoy it while it lasts.Barney10-04-2025
- Sounds like a witch hunt! " And then we should keep the samples of his tests for the next 10 years, when scientific research will have made further progress," he concluded." Throwing shit on the wall and see what sticks...drkesterdmd09-04-2025
- This video is weird, the more you look at it the more it seems as if riders vanished. At one point it looks like about 20 riders are going down and the next moment it’s only a dozen or so on the road even though the number of bikes also seems more.Mistermaumau09-04-2025

- " I do not want to insinuate doubts, but.." Oldest backhanded comment in the books. It's not Pog's fault that all the French riders are currently crap.ScottG09-04-2025
- What initially looked like a very clever move by Alex Aranburu to win the stage turned out to be a 'too good to be true' moment. To be fair to him though, the race organizers did a pretty terrible job of blocking off that side of the roundabout.
santiagobenites09-04-2025 - Your last point is the most important one to consider. A riders data is private for a reason, and it's obvious that the reason that riders don't openly share it is to not give away any vital information that could benefit the competition.santiagobenites09-04-2025
