The French president Nicolas Sarkozy spent the night in hospital (26-27.7.09) after collapsing while on a Sunday jog in the Versailles area near Paris.
Mr Sarkozy, 54, interested in keeping trim through running and cycling, walked out of the hospital accompanied by his wife.
A communique from his office said he’d been overcome by the effects of hot weather and demands of work he’d been doing.
Heart tests had proved negative and there was no neurological cause for his passing out in the street.
He’d been counselled to rest for some days but had not been given any medication.
