Good job in both winning and catching them cheating! Crazy that you need to have a camera to do that, banning them all from competition should the only thing
It's sad that it took an outside media journalist to motivate the UCI to act. They were dragging their feet on it and hoping it would fade away. But they ruled on the men's issue quickly.
This event was around October/November 2023 i believe. Very happy for Lou, excellent forensics, also quite lucky to capture the specific evidence as the GoPro batteries only last about an hour.
Emily you are a champion! Not only do you speak for women being preyed upon, those battling mental illness, and now amateurs being scammed by others! Wow!! You rock! (the boys are lucky you're there!)
Bravo! Emily for her helpful inquiries and the whole Cade Media team for building an enterprise that apparently carries weight. Cheaters stink. We all have an obligation to call them out.
I have another example of an italian banned for 6 years after being caught stealing epo via a hospital, selling and using. He appealed and was reduced to 4 years. Xx started racing worlds the year he returned and either he’s very talented or still doing as I go to altitude and still finished 4th twice to him and his 2 italian friends. Testing needed please.
I qualified (just) but the top three in my 50-55 year old master division would have placed in the pro division. The speeds of masters racing is INSANE.
So I use to race a lot of the Super Enduro races in Italy and a lot of the liaison stages were brutal. Race a stage and then have an hour to get to the next stage. I remember Italians on mopeds hiding with tow ropes waiting to pull riders.
@@morapelimokokomali7907You can bet there you find all the motors that the Hungarian guy invented that add 250 watts to your pedaling. Bike races and cheating have a history almost as old as the bike itself! Although there are hints(carvings in Indian temples) that in India people knew bikes already 1500 years ago!
@@morapelimokokomali7907 totally agree was funny to see but no one batted an eye lid. Remember racing down in Finale and seeing it before it was called the EWS.
Unfortunately this is a story as old as time. Did Haute Route a number of years back and on one of the climbs multiple people including myself watched a Russian team’s van towing multiple riders up the climb. Multiple people to organizers and were told we need video proof and did nothing about it.
Aren’t the details of how the Ruskis accomplished this really secondary? Isn’t the bigger question, why does the UCI continue to allow Russia in international competitions? Also, why aren’t these Ruskis on the frontlines for the make benefit glory of Mother Russia? 😒
It's the old technique criminals use: dress and act like you're meant to be there and no one will question it! Clever technique though and it obviously works, provided you're not caught that is.
Im sure I'll get flamed for saying it but cheating is endemic in Russian society. Ive been married to one and around Russians for 20 years and I was shocked at what they think is permissible even in every day life....
I don’t know why they didn’t enter the race. This is basically just a sportive (I’ve done the uk equivalent and the worlds), and they could have just entered and acted as a team mate.
Because the lady in pink jumps in at the 50k mark, fresh, and keeps the winner in white out of the wind for 20/30 ks at a speed neither were capable of doing unaided from the start.
Firstly, well done Lou! Secondly, can the Russians ever take part in sport without cheating?...Or anything else for that matter Thirdly, Team Impulse should be punished as they quite obviously knew what the plan was. I await my dose of novachock to arrive in my mailbox soon 😅
If the guy just signed up for the mens race and its a mass start. There would be presumably nothing illegal about her sitting on his wheel all day. Why didn't they just do that instead of sneaking into the event hahah
@13:00 you didn't mind that competitors were breaking the rules?? That's incomprehensible and a dis-service to the racing community. Where does it end and which rules are ok to be broken??
Well done all. Cheating is cheating. You would give them slack of they might not have known if they finished in the middle or end of the field, but not on the podium.
So crazy wasn’t it? Thank you for your support! 💖💖💖
Good job in both winning and catching them cheating!
Crazy that you need to have a camera to do that, banning them all from competition should the only thing
Craziest thing I have heard
Well done, Lou!! Man, woman, or other...if you cheat you deserve to be called out and DQ'd.
I was on that race, those ladies joined our group in the middle of the race and I thought, wow! great job :)))
It's sad that it took an outside media journalist to motivate the UCI to act. They were dragging their feet on it and hoping it would fade away. But they ruled on the men's issue quickly.
That's because the UCI hate women and cannot be for any other reason
soviets are paying ppl to look the other way
Love that you kept UCI honest!
I'd ban the athletes for at least 2 years, maybe 4, and I'd disqualify the whole team from that event, because that is systemic cheating.
This event was around October/November 2023 i believe.
Very happy for Lou, excellent forensics, also quite lucky to capture the specific evidence as the GoPro batteries only last about an hour.
Bravo Louise!🎉

Hey Frances how would you know if invisibility cloaks exist, since you would not be able to see them ?? Discuss...
Good job catching this.
Please investigate PFP Doping in UCI mountain bike races. 👍🏼
Holy smokes. Good job BBC 😉

Great job Emily!
Glad to see her at the world’s this year in Denmark which is basically 200 km from my house!
Wow, this is really unbelievable. Thanks for deep diving.
I wonder if the female rider feels anything like regret?
Facepalm alert!
People do this in fondos every time. In women's categories not the strongest rider but the one with the most male friends wins.
Having friends is a strength :)
How can you possibly think this was a misunderstanding of the rules?
Either inconceivable ignorance to UCI rules or mammoth arrogance!
Cheats!!
I saw this same story last year with the same footage. Not sure it’s a breaking story.
Actually, it was on Louise TH-cam channel.

Ok that was so wrong but so hilarious at the same time. Cheating in cycling is such a problem

@domestique3954 no way 🤣, so they his the motor and gained massive advantage? So it compensated for the extra weight I guess?
@jamesallway5934 🤣 wow, I wonder how you felt as a competitor seeing that?
Well done Emily and well done Louise on making world's 👊💪
Great job fellas!
Why I'm not surprised that rushist are cheating?
mind blown. incredible content
Russia cheating? Noooooo, can’t be 🤡

You mean towing them with wires or cables, or them holding on to the van?
@@pierrex3226 holding on to the van.
This is easy.
You need to investigate the DOPING at Musters categories
Outstanding!
Ahh that had me confused.. I thought it was another example.. it was literally deja vu (on the Wild Ones Podcast!)
Did you try to contact the team and ask about their motivation? Would be great to hear that side as well.
Interesting, and nice catch. Of course, no reason to think Russians would approach cycling any differently than they do other sports.
Russia. Say no more.
soo why the races men/women/mix are at same time ? divide it in 3 with 1h start gap or so
There were only 7 starters in the women's 44-49 category anyway.
So much trouble & ensuing drama just to get in the top half of a small field
Hasn’t this been on before or is this a new incident?
Bravo! What a cool story.
Russians cheating? Impossible 😂😂😂
It must be freezing where you are filming this Cade Media Extra? or is Antarctic Fashion Clothing Appaeal a new sponsor of the broadcast?
So there was official race photos showing the drafting and they still did nothing

@cadeteam Stay away from umbrellas and balconies for a few weeks.
I guess that’s what Putin means when he says Russia has the best hypersonic weapons. 😏
What? Russians cheating at sport? Say it isn't so? That's so weird!
It is in that county’s DNR. Still surprised they somehow can race as “neutrals”.
Classic Russia... Even in sports competitions, all they can do is cheat.
but who was the mystery fast af rider and why wasnt she just racing ?
Wait, what? I'v seen it already🤔

Doesn't she say they zoomed past her in the first 5km?
Just use rim brakes vs a heavy disc bike and get the marginal gains. Draft off the bros. Easy!
Tg
cheating is riding in a peleton, or a pace line or drafting, to get a KOM or a better time/PR, roadies do that all the time on every occasion :/
Firstly, well done Lou!
Secondly, can the Russians ever take part in sport without cheating?...Or anything else for that matter
Thirdly, Team Impulse should be punished as they quite obviously knew what the plan was.
I await my dose of novachock to arrive in my mailbox soon 😅
hahahahaaha and thank you!
Feels like NATO should step in on this? Have you reported it to them?
Naughty Russians. Strange to see the blob before it became famous
When did Cade Media get bought by the BBC? 🤣
If the guy just signed up for the mens race and its a mass start. There would be presumably nothing illegal about her sitting on his wheel all day. Why didn't they just do that instead of sneaking into the event hahah
@13:00 you didn't mind that competitors were breaking the rules?? That's incomprehensible and a dis-service to the racing community. Where does it end and which rules are ok to be broken??
I wonder how the sole honest Russian athlete feels. Maybe these are just competing like they do in Russia.
There isn’t an honest Russian athlete. The cheating is sanctioned by the state. Required, in fact.
Putin is gonna put a hit on Emily and Cade Media, or at least the BBC 😂
He’ll regret it if he does. Go Emily!
Well done all. Cheating is cheating. You would give them slack of they might not have known if they finished in the middle or end of the field, but not on the podium.
why are the Russians banned?
Russian, what else do you expect
US Postal, Discovery Channel, Festina ... 😁 Are they Russians?!
Some Russian. Not all Russian are the same
The biggest cheat in the sport was a red-blooded American! @@miivii
They learned from the best. Viva Lance and US Postal service. They manage to lie and cheated for how many years?
@@hermanbester1751 You think russians only just started cheating? Oh my word you're naive.
It's a real pity that people still want to cheat a real pity don't people learn
Women and Men should start separately and age groups should be separated. Tour of Cambridge did this.
De ja Vu ? Or the recycling of old news? 💤👎
Please stay out of Russia after this.
Everyone cheats
Oh please, do tell?
Cheating in amateur racing what’s the world coming too 🤪
I would be interested to hear the "Russian" side of the story
rusophobia xD of course
What's going on. A constant stream of old videos. I presume this is easy money. You don't fool me. I thought you were better than this. Enough.
