I'd hardly consider taking Ibuprofen cheating.
Ibuprofen manages pain for you, where pain management is supposed to be one of the key aspects of the race. If nothing else, it certainly makes the mental side of the race much easier when the pain comes. Way more impactful than riding with someone for long periods of time. And the latter is forbidden.
That said, I can't think of a way to detect pain killers from performance data alone. So it'd probably go unchecked...

Also, where do you draw the line in pill-taking? If I would join a race like that (not to win anyway so doesn't matter), I'd hardly consider taking Ibuprofen cheating. Ibuprofen also makes your hr higher, no?
