I'm trying to work out in my head if mech doping is worse than pharma... I reckon it probably is. At least with the drugs you can argue that the rider is still putting themselves through hellish pain to win. A motor kinda just lets you whizz away for the same effort. But then maybe you could argue the EPO is a biological motor, I dunno. Whatever, for a motor to be in the bike you'd have to have several members of the team complicit in the cheating. Drugs you can plausibly do in isolation.
