Here is a basic explanation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ozone_th...ne_therapy
Its meant to increase oxygen to the blood

Not feeling like doing any research now, so I assume this is as illegal as Kittel's UV treatment would have been nowadays?

While I agree doping should be investigated, I'm really becoming annoyed with the timing. Meeusen twice just before a world championship, Van Averwaet the day of Omloop. I'm finding it hard to believe this is still a coincidence.
Changed my sig, this was getting absurd.

We can take this to PM if you like, but I'd just geniunely like to know why you don't find it hypocritical. I mean, on the one hand, you're bitching about the objectification of women, on the other hand, look at your sig.
I won't answer to hypocracy of the objectification of women because no argument i made was about the objectification of women. In fact i distinctly recall saying i kind of liked the ad's of the last couple of years that included women on them. I have no shame in saying that.
My arguments, on the feminist side, were based around straight up harrassment or implied harassment. The arguments of not using a woman full stop were because i feel there are better ways to advertise a cycling race, followed by examples.
If i was to bash the advert for focusing purely on the female form to drive impressions then yes that would make me hypocritical, because i choose my adverts because they look nice (although tbf that's how i choose all my avatars, like the one that depicted Charly Gaul for example).
But to clarrify, that was not the argument i made nor the one i'm making now.
Well, maybe I worded it poorly, but you complained quite heavily about the usage of the "Sex Sells" system. That is what I meant with objectification. But yes, I can follow your train of thoughts better now, thanks for clarifying. 
On the GvA thing, does anyone have an English source? And I presume he's still riding Omloop?

Ozone therapy is indeed illegal, here's an old UCI Anti-doping document that shows Pieter Van Herck and Stefan Van Dijk with lengthy bans for doing it.

Hour Record News:
Sarah Storey does 45.502 kilometres in her attempt for the Women's Hour Record. Falls short by 568m, but sets a new British Record, as well as breaking many Para-Cycling records in the process! Great effort
