MEDICAL UPDATE – Michael Matthews:
During a recent altitude training camp, GreenEDGE Cycling Medical Team discovered signs of a pulmonary embolism and have subsequently decided to pause all physical activity for the rider until further notice, as a precautionary measure.
Matthews’ health condition is stable. The Medical Team are now thoroughly investigating the extent of the issue and possible cause, to define a safe and optimal recovery process for the athlete. During this period of investigation, as a safeguarding measure, Matthews will refrain from competition to ensure there is no risk to his health and well-being, therefore ruling out his participation in the upcoming Tour de France.
