does the adjustments properly (using interpolation rather than just dropping random points) which also preserves device details/cadence/HR/etc. I could even return the results as an original FIT file to make it even less likely someone could work out I'd doctored it.
I have never done this with the sole purpose of taking a KOM away from friends on a shirt stretch of hill. Even if it was explicitly made obvious, as the average speed was >200km/h
I like the idea of spiking the data though. Maybe even with the original data hidden behind the level of precision in the times.

I'm beginning to think I should start a rival service to Digital EPO that does the adjustments properly (using interpolation rather than just dropping random points) which also preserves device details/cadence/HR/etc. I could even return the results as an original FIT file to make it even less likely someone could work out I'd doctored it.
There are two ways I could do it:-
a) Charge a small fee via paypal and just profit from the twats
b) Make it free but then doctor the points in such a way that they can be identified another way (e.g. adding extra precision to the co-ordinates so that a repeating message is included, or some other form of cryptographic steganography). Then release the details of this so that Strava/et al can go through and kill all of them after they've been uploaded for 48 hours or so.
Option (a) is just morally bankrupt though.
