Il Fatto Quotidiano: “I medici non riescono a capire da dove arrivi il problema, ne ho abbastanza”: il calvario di Eddy Merckx

Non c’è pace per la leggenda del ciclismo Eddy Merckx, ricoverato da una settimana per curare un’infezione all’anca. L’ex corridore belga dovrà sottoporsi al settimo intervento chirurgico in poco più di un anno, dal post incidente a dicembre 2024, quando cadde in bici scivolando su un passaggio a livello e si fratturò l’anca. A riferirlo è il quotidiano belga Het Laatste Nieuws che riporta anche le parole del Cannibale. “A causa del forte dolore, sono stato ricoverato in ospedale lunedì scorso – ha detto Merckx al giornale fiammingo -. I medici non riescono a individuare la fonte dell’infezione e, dato che gli antibiotici non sono molto efficaci, dovranno operarmi di nuovo lunedì prossimo. Basta con queste sciocchezze, ne ho abbastanza!”, ha concluso il ciclista, stufo della situazione.
I suoi problemi di salute risalgono appunto al dicembre 2024, quando il vincitore di cinque Tour de France e 19 Classiche Monumento, cadde durante un’uscita in bicicletta a Mechelen, in Belgio, scivolando su un passaggio a livello. Merckx si fratturò l’anca e la protesi iniziale, applicata in modo errato, successivamente dovette essere sostituita. Non era stata la prima sfortunata caduta per Eddy Merckx. A ottobre 2019, il belga era stato vittima di un altro incidente in bicicletta, con conseguenze serie: in quella occasione, durante un’uscita con un gruppo di amici nei dintorni di Gent, Merckx aveva riportato un trauma cranico e diversi danni alla schiena, all’anca e alle ginocchia.

“The doctors can’t figure out where the problem comes from, I’ve had enough”: the ordeal of Eddy Merckx

There is no peace for the cycling legend Eddy Merckx, who has been hospitalized for a week to treat an infection in his hip. The former Belgian cyclist will need his seventh surgery in little more than a year, from the post-accident in December 2024, when he fell off his bike while slipping on a level crossing and fracturing his hip. This was reported by the Belgian newspaper Het Laatste Nieuws, which also quotes the Cannibal. “Because of the severe pain, I was hospitalized last Monday – Merckx told the Flemish newspaper – The doctors can’t identify the source of the infection and, since antibiotics are not very effective, they will have to operate on me again next Monday. Enough of this nonsense, I’ve had enough!” the cyclist concluded, fed up with the situation.

His health problems date back to December 2024, when the winner of five Tours de France and 19 Monuments, fell during a bike ride in Mechelen, Belgium, slipping on a level crossing. Merckx fractured his hip and the initial prosthesis, which was applied incorrectly, subsequently had to be replaced. It was not the first unfortunate fall for Eddy Merckx. In October 2019, the Belgian was the victim of another cycling accident, with serious consequences: on that occasion, during a ride with a group of friends near Gent, Merckx suffered a head trauma and several injuries to his back, hip and knees.
