Sarkozy taken to hospital after collapsing during jog

French President Nicolas Sarkozy collapsed suddenly while jogging today on the lush grounds of the Chateau of Versailles, then was rushed by helicopter to a military hospital where he will remain overnight, his office said.

Military doctors quickly performed a battery of tests on the 54-year-old president who is known for his hyperactivity. The Elysee Palace said Mr Sarkozy’s test results were normal but that doctors would keep him under cardiological observation until Monday.
