Multiple Olympic Champion and a Track Cycling legend, Sir Chris Hoy is expected to announce his retirement from the sport. Quoted as saying "Today I'm officially announcing my retirement and it's a decision that I didn't take lightly and I thought about it very hard".
The 37-year-old Scot had been contemplating continuing until the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, but has decided enough is enough and confirmed he was quitting the sport at a lunchtime press conference in Edinburgh today.
Hoy is Britain's most decorated Olympian after his haul of two gold medals at London 2012 saw him surpass rower Sir Steve Redgrave's record of five.
