Just as in financial fraud, cheaters in sports are constantly innovating and finding new ways to beat the system. In baseball, they not only have been found to use steroids but they also have been known to put cork in their bats. In cycling, the methods we have known about have been largely biological using performance enhancing drugs. Word has it that cyclists have starting using their version of corked bats. If so, I'm totally appalled and disgusted!
Rumor has it that the latest method of cheating in cycling is to put an electric motor inside your bike frame and to use it to get an extra 100 watt power boost when the EPO and steroids are just not cutting it. When my brother sent me a Youtube video that details this "motorized doping" (see below), I thought it must be some sort of joke. Is this video some sort of hoax or what?!
