Stoner Reveals He Has Chronic Fatigue
Syndrome, Seeks Cure
A
ustralian MotoGP legend Casey
Stoner has revealed to Aus-
tralian breakfast television show
Today his battle with chronic fatigue
syndrome, otherwise known as
MECFS.
Stoner, a two-time MotoGP World
Champion in 2007 and 2011, has
been battling the disease since
2018 and is now helping to raise
funds for a research center for a
cure in Australia.
"Currently, we have no cure,"
Stoner said from his home in
Queensland, Australia. "We don't have enough
information on things that can help. If we have
more specialists and more knowledge in it
(MECFS), and people can see doctors and
maybe get a bit of help get some understanding
from people." CN
