💨 Abstract

The International Cycling Union (UCI) has banned the use of carbon monoxide gas for training purposes outside of medical facilities, citing its potential lethality and the need to protect athletes' health. The ban, which will take effect on Feb. 10, comes following an investigation into the gas's use by several teams during altitude training at this year's Tour de France.
