And now we have virtual doping. Bit of a tortuous read this one, but Cameron Jeffers who won the British eRacing Champs earlier this year has been stripped of his title.

He didn't do anything wrong in the race itself, but falsely built up ride time in Zwift to obtain the bike he used in the race. It's potentially a bit odd given that Zwift gave the bike to some racers without them having "earned" it.

What I thought was interesting is that he gets a 6 month ban from racing which covers real world racing.

I don't get why this should be there, unless there is some micro dosing going on. A box is about 2-4 weeks supply for someone that needs it, but applying the gel will give a small increase temporarily, but regular use shuts down any normal production ( = no advantage). The body 'adjusts'. It's not a magic bullet, and I can't see why micro dosing will do that much, but it's possibly a marginal gain.
