Mechanical doping

What I don’t understand about this, is how when talking about motor doping the comment seems to be how a pro wouldn’t strap a motor to their bike.

Comment has been along the lines thatb ’biological doping’ is still your body, but pushed to the limit, whereas motor doping isn’t your body any more - and this is why it would only ever be amateurs who would be stupid/weak enough to use a motor.

Maybe the above is correct, and they just pulled Fabian to one side and said ‘this isn’t right...’

Have the UCI abandoned their hunt for motors these days ?
I've not heard of any x rays this year or for quite a while now.

I don't believe they've ever found a motor on a team bike have they despite the French UCI president really going on a crusade to find them.

A French rider suspected of motor doping apparently drives off with the race director on his bonnet: https://road.cc/content/news/former-actor-accused-motor-doping-flees-race-308487 and has now been charged by police: https://www.globalcyclingnetwork.co...motor-doping-and-hit-and-run-on-race-director
