2 Uno-X riders taken to hospital following carbon monoxide poisoning - "When he entered the room he found me almost unconscious"

Uno-X Pro Cycling team have hosted a training camp in December and had two of their riders being taken to a hospital in Copenhagen for several days, but not because of a cycling-related incident. Anders Johannessen and Jonas Hvideberg were victims of carbon monoxide poisoning following a long session of kart racing.
“I was very happy about it, for me going karting is a very fun thing. So I remained in the room where the racing takes place for almost 4 hours and I never went out, to take a break or take a breath of fresh air," Anders Johannessen told TV2. "Moreover, we are both competitive and we immediately saw that we had the best lap times; so we stayed in the karts longer than the others. At the end of the three and a half hours, those who were bored left, but the most enthusiastic, including the two of us, had extra time to go around again."
Hvideberg, a signing from Team DSM, had a rough start to his stint with the Norwegian team, as he explains the symptoms felt. "During the journey back to the hotel where we were staying I started to feel that something was wrong. I felt dizzy and my head was weighing on me. So I went to bed, but as the minutes passed I continued to feel worse. I found myself lying in a fetal position and with a huge headache," he tells.
However back at the hotel, both experienced severe physical complications and might have been saved by quick reaction to alert the team staff. Both Johannessen and new signing Hvideberg suffered from headaches, dizziness and vomitting. “I sent a message to the team doctor, who when he entered the room he found me almost unconscious," Johannessen reveals. "Initially the doctors told us we would have to stay there for a week, but luckily we got through in less time. At the moment we have not noticed any consequences of that what happened, after a couple of days we were already fine"

- “During a TT, I am basically blind”. That was his quote after crashing into the barriers in a TT. The problem isn’t the UCI, radios or air bags. The problem is the riders and their teams.JoeyB22-12-2024
- I think you overestimate scientific knowledge and for sure the spreading of it. There are huge numbers of people in similar situations, if there were an easy solution somebody would be making big money out of it. Nerve pain can have many complex origins or be due to complex combinations of reasons. Even if you discover a reason there is not always a solution. Migraines haven’t been solved either. I have had lower back/hip nerve pains on and off for over 30 years, no kind of doctor has ever found a way to reduce, prevent or solve the problem. It may just be that some people are born with nerves that are too short or get twisted out of position during certain movements.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
- Amazing ride by her and very promising for her future. On a side note, it’s a bit worrying all these wins riders have after emotional moments in their lives, someone will come up with emotional doping at some point. Maybe give them fake news just before a big race to get hormones pumping.Mistermaumau22-12-2024
