Must be the genes

It looks different when you wrote it but it sounds same in my ears if you would say must be the genes or must be the jeans, little bit try and error meaning for me .

edit. just like former Danish-American comedian, conductor and pianist Victor Borge said: I just try to use your language

Not sure if that worked so have attached link, at the highest level they are at least investigating some of the more obvious issues

'Indeed, the only notable action taken by the rider after being presented with the above evidence, was that they then immediately deleted their entire history of over 150 publicly visible dual-recordings from ZwiftPower'

Made me laugh and facepalm at the same time

Interesting. I don't think this was a "sticky watts" issue though was it? Looks like he diconnected the analytics channel and then used a computer programme to "modify" the power transmitted to Zwift. T@sser.

I do enjoy this kind of exposé but I remember marathon investigations which did something similar with runners. It can lead to a bit of a witch-hunt (not co-ordinated by the site) and someone did actually complete suicide after being accused (rightly) of cheating. That said picking up on cheating is to be commended and hopefully it encourages less people to chance their arm rather than focusing on this one individual

I think he was suspected on sticky watts from video footage but clearly it was something more deliberate

Reading through the document, that what it looks like (i.e. a more sophisticated method). Googled him and he's an IT engineer - probably wrote something that captured the power data and applied a multiplier. Where's there's software - there's hacking. Sadly.

Never ceases to amaze me the lengths some people will go to to win a cartoon bike race
(And the arrogance to think they won't be caught).

p.s. Anyone need the 3d-printing plans for my new bottom-bracket to Black & Decker adapter?

I seem to recall an app called "Digital EPO" that people used to enhance their .fit or .gpx files. Sounds like something similar but more real-time.

If he tested and get caught in anti-doping test as well then that would be very embarrassing, then he really get caught with his pants down.

He seems to have done a bunk from the Interwebs...
