The 27-year old Birchfield Harrier is not among the athletes named on the World Class Performance Programme for next season, where the European Championships in Barcelona and Commonwealth Games in Delhi are the highlight.
Lewis-Francis, a world junior champion in 1999 who was once dubbed the world's fastest teenager, has seen his career flatter to deceive after failing to make the transition to senior athletics.
He missed last year's Beijing Olympics with an Achilles tendon injury but vowed to return with a bang this season, despite running his wind-assisted 9.97 secs personal best seven years ago.
He appointed former Olympic champion Linford Christie as his coach and claimed he was posting some encouraging times during warm weather training in California earlier this year.
