Default 'Motorised bike' confiscated at Cyclo-cross World Championships

A bicycle has been confiscated at the Cyclo-cross World
Championships in Belgium after it was allegedly found to contain a
motor.

The International Cycling Union (UCI) said it was investigating an
incident of "technological fraud" in the women's under-23 race.


The race was won by Great Britain's Evie Richards, but none of the
podium finishers is under suspicion.

If confirmed it would be the first case of its kind in elite
cycling.

The UCI said in a statement that the bike "has been detained for
further investigation".

I do not see how it is possible to conceal some kind of functional motor inside the tube of a bicycle.
