Knud Enemark Jensen

Knud Enemark Jensen (30 November 1936 – 26 August 1960) was a Danish cyclist who died while participating in the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, Italy.

[1][2] The Olympic 100 km team time trial road race was held in 40 °C (104 °F) heat[3] on Viale Cristoforo Colombo in Rome.

Niels Baunsøe clutched his jersey, keeping him from falling, while Vagn Bangsborg held Enemark Jensen from the other side.

On 25 March 1961, the three Italian physicians who performed the autopsy submitted a final report stating that Enemark Jensen's death was caused by heatstroke, and that no drugs were found in his body.

Years later, Alvaro Marchiori, one of the doctors who conducted the autopsy, claimed that they had "found traces of several things", including amphetamine.
