UCI President David Lappartient recently requested a formal ban on carbon monoxide use in cycling, citing its use to enhance altitude training as a major concern.
The use of carbon monoxide rebreathers came to light during the Tour de France, with teams finding success in optimizing their riders' altitude training.
Detalo Health emphasizes the need to differentiate between the use of carbon monoxide for performance enhancement versus its legitimate use as a medical diagnostic tool.
MPCC, after initially not advocating a ban, advised against the usage of carbon monoxide rebreathers, raising concerns about their implications for the integrity of the sport.
