If there comes a proposal, which conflicts with their interest, then it is better to get themselves removed from the review process, because if they do so, there are pretty fair chances that they become biased and can reject the grant on the basis of their own views. So if they get themselves separated from the review process, it would lessen the chance that bias will affect the review process.
