The International Cycling Union will examine so-called “mechanical doping” at a meeting Monday with bike manufacturers. UCI president Pat McQuaid said Wednesday he did not believe rumors sweeping the sport that racers were cheating by getting extra power from battery-powered motors hidden in their bike frames. “We have no belief at the moment that it’s actually a fact,” McQuaid said. He added the UCI has no knowledge of motors that could be hidden inside the tubes of a frame. “They are still not invisible,” he said. “All the evidence we’re seeing . . . is that the battery is about the size of a bag of sugar.” The Associated Press
