Zwift Chat

[Whorty]

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 wonder if one of my techies at work can knock me up a program to help me beat ART in sprints

Looks like we've got some new route badges in the latest update. Should help a bit in getting to lvl42.

Yeah - guess what.
La Reine (rode it in November in WICR )
Wattopia's waistband (rode it two days before the update in ZRL )

Bit aggravating that. La Reine was a good but tough race. Will have to do it again some time.
(Ironically collecting XP for the Aethos, which is a climbing bike - bit circular, that ).

Looks like a big fat ban.

6 months doesn't seem to be particularly big or fat to me.

Don’t read anything into this, but do you think that the hack could work for BKOOL and where can I find the code?

The 'formal' duration is irrelevant. There's no coming back so who cares.

As Pete says he has been dropped by his team and will forever have no credibility. Does feel that he should have been banned for longer though even as a token - thats the same ban Cameron Jeffers in very different circumstances

Yeah it does feel like this is a much cheatier cheat than the Jeffers cheat was.
Has the UCI announced anything yet? It was a UCI qualifier wasn't it?

Cheating **** got caught and banned.
(He was intercepting the signals from his trainer, tweaking them, and passing inflated figures to Zwift. Basically could dial in whatever power he wanted).
