Tour de France leader Tadej Pogačar has brushed off a query into the use of carbon monoxide rebreathers, a device reportedly employed by some WorldTour teams as a measurement tool for altitude training.

On Friday, Escape Collective reported that UAE Team Emirates, Visma-Lease a Bike and Israel-Premier Tech have been using carbon monoxide rebreathers but did not specify which riders are using them.

The article pointed out that these devices are not banned by WADA. The teams themselves confirmed that they have access to carbon monoxide rebreathers, but they stated that they use the technique exclusively for measurement purposes to optimise the benefits of altitude training.
