But concerns over integrity were raised after she also decided to continue working as an athletics pundit for BBC Sport.
And Lewis confirmed on Instagram Stories that she was “temporarily” leaving her UK Athletics role.
She said: “I’ve had to make the difficult decision to temporarily step away from my role as UKA president – with the upcoming Olympics and a hectic summer ahead.
“I would only want to accept the role when it can have my full attention.”
