On 60 Minutes tonite, an amazing revelation that it's possible some bikes used in the race have secret motors in them !!!
And it's possible it's been going on since the late 90s.
The motors are small, the 'boost' effect lasts less than 20 minutes, yet in a race, obviously, that would be significant. It is possible for the motor to be triggered by a heart rate monitor on the bicyclist!
The modification runs around $20,000 per bike, and as they said, adds 800 grams weight to the bike.
My take:
I'm mortified, but not surprised.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
