Cycling’s governing body has banned the repeated use of carbon monoxide rebreathing that some riders misuse to artificially increase their performances. Following a meeting of its executive committee on Saturday in France, the UCI said it approved a ban on repeated inhalation to protect the health of riders. The inhalation will, however, continue to be authorized “within a medical facility and under the responsibility of a medical professional experienced in the handling of this gas for medical reasons,” the UCI said.
