Six-time Olympic gold medalist Chris Hoy revealed his cancer diagnosis is now terminal. The Olympic cyclist shared the news in an interview for the Sunday Times, published Sunday. Hoy, 48, revealed he had been diagnosed with cancer in 2023 in an Instagram post in February. At the time, he said it was a 'huge shock' and that he had had no symptoms up until that point. He added that he was receiving treatment, including chemotherapy, and that it was 'going really well.
He faced a 'violent' allergic reaction to the chemo in round two, forcing the two-hour session to extend to four hours. Hoy was 'absolutely broken by the end of it,' according to the Sunday Times. The chemo was not guaranteed to shrink the size of Hoy's tumors, but he told the Sunday Times the results after treatment were promising. He said he has faith that by the time his tumors regrow, someone might have invented a new treatment for him to try.
