"To give you complete clarity on that, carbon monoxide rebreathing is a technique that has already been validated for 20 years and has been used by climbers, endurance sportsmen and athletes around the world to measure haemoglobin mass when they go to altitude."
"We've been very good with our altitude training camps in the last seven years. We feel that we've done a really good job in terms of the benefit, but there's no way that you can quantify that clearly, other than measuring haemoglobin mass."
"The technique hit the headlines during the 2024 Tour de France when Escape Collective reported that UAE Team Emirates, Visma-Lease a Bike, and Israel-Premier Tech had used it to test rider blood values at the start and end of altitude training camps."
"Last month, the UCI called on WADA to 'take a position' on the use of carbon monoxide for performance gains, using a similar method known as repeated carbon monoxide inhalation."
