Professional cycling spent decades looking for cheating in blood, urine, and hotel mini-fridges. Then came the suspicion that the real juice was hiding in the bike.
The video follows the story from early viral accusations against Tour riders to the day scanners found a motor hidden inside a seat tube. After years of blood doping, EPO, denials, scandals, and very aerodynamic excuses, cycling had to face a new possibility: maybe the bike was doping too.
It is hard to imagine a more perfect cheating scandal for the sport. Cycling already looks like medieval torture performed in sunglasses. Add a concealed motor, and suddenly every heroic climb becomes a tech-support ticket.
In pro cycling, even the bikes fail drug tests.
