Now set to be banned

"The new regulation forbids the possession, outside a medical facility,
of commercially available CO re-breathing systems connected to oxygen
and CO cylinders. This ban applies to all licence-holders, teams and/or
bodies subject to the UCI Regulations and to anyone else who might
possess such equipment on behalf of riders or teams."
 
Also, in the same press release,
 
"it will be mandatory for all UCI WorldTeams to compete in the three
Grand Tours.....and the five Monuments.....From the remaining events on
the UCI WorldTour calendar, UCI WorldTeams will be able to choose one
event in which they do not compete. "

That's a good idea but there's no way of testing for it.

Wrong, as usual.

"CO-oximeter"

A blood test for CO won't detect small concentrations of CO.  An
CO-oximeter will work for small CO concentrations with the added bonus
of not requiring a blood draw.
