Michele Verroken has dismissed reports that she resigned from her post as UK Sport's anti-doping chief in the wake of Rio Ferdinand's missed drugs test. Verroken denies she has quit and that the scandal surrounding the England defender affected her career.
"Reports that I resigned from my position as director are entirely untrue," Verroken said in a statement.
"As are suggestions that the future of my employment is, in some way, linked to the Rio Ferdinand case."
Verroken is on gardening leave from her position as director of UK Sport's drug-free sport directorate.
But several reports earlier this months suggested Verroken had resigned in the fall-out from Ferdinand's failure to attend a routine drug's test.
"I will be speaking to various people over the holiday period about these reports," Verroken added.
