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 says it approved a ban on repeated inhalation to protect the health of riders. The ban will start on Feb. 10.

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.The gas can be used as a tracer to monitor the diffusion of oxygen in the lungs or the total mass of hemoglobin, a key blood value for racers.
“Such symptoms can worsen at any time and develop into problems with heart rhythm, seizures, paralysis, and loss of consciousness,” it added. When performed under medical supervision, the UCI said only one inhalation will be authorized to measure the total mass of hemoglobin, with a second inhalation allowed only two weeks after the first measurement.
