Knud Enemark Jensen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Knud Enemark Jensen (died August 26, 1960) was a Danish cyclist who participated in the 1960 Summer Olympic Games in Rome, Italy. Under the influence of amphetamines, he collapsed during a race during the Games, fracturing his skull, and in a nearby Rome hospital shortly thereafter, he was pronounced dead.
His death led the International Olympic Committee to form a medical commission in 1967 and institute drug testing at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France, and at the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City, Mexico.
