Cycling is a sport that is full of scammers dressed in lycra. This one it was from the beginning, and it remains so until today. So much so that, even if they are stuck indoors and practically compete in their sport, cyclists are yet deception.
As so great Deserter story In short, a lot of cyclists competed in the game Zwift Lately, and surprised by Pikachu’s face, they are arrested for breaking the rules, albeit in new and fascinating ways.
Zwift is a game in which you ride an exercise bike and then reflect your speed and actions on the screen. Unlike things like that, you may have already tried it at the gym, though, Zwift is a game itself, with competitors, parts and graphics, and looks more like something you would play on the Switch than the gym.
Earlier this week, Zwift’s “Performance Review Board” issued a six-month ban for two of the game’s best drivers. Israeli pilot Antonina Reznikov was caught editing her data to make her screen performance 32% faster than her actual pedaling, while German pilot Selma Trommer was caught doing the same for a 9% increase. Both pilots initially challenged the Council’s findings before bowing later and said, yes, ok, I was wrong.

And these are just the last two. As Tips for cycling report, Zwift has been battling deception for some time, especially during the pandemic as professional cyclists, supplemented by sponsorships and the need to be seen behaving well by going to game competitions.
To his credit, Zwift was working to catch these scams, proof that … these two were caught? But hey, given over 100 years of historical precedent, the problem could withstand the game less and the players less.
