Is a sticky bottle cheating? Clearly in some cases, like yesterday and the Nibali incident two years ago, it is, but where do you draw the line?
I think a video judge is a good idea in theory, but I think the rules need tightening and clarifying if it's to be truly effective.
I'd also argue strongly for a public explanation of the ruling and an appeal process, otherwise you get situations like Sagan's disqualification at the Tour where it was never explained.

what a load of bullshit, Moscon could have let go at any time.
this, from the article, is reassuring though. hopefully the new UCI chief will focus on this as much as the 'motor doping'
"Video evidence has been used more and more this season and a television judge will soon have a formal role and sit in the television production truck, ready to inform the chief judge of any form of cheating."
