The second person to be caught motor doping is Alessandro Andreoli, 53, a tiler. In 2017 he was DQ'd after an amateur race in Italy. Officials with a thermal camera detected 'fire' in his seat tube. They claim he admitted to having a motor, but later he told La Gazzetta Dello Sport that he'd never said any such thing. The officials wanted to dismantle his bike, but he said there wasn't time because he was late for a wedding. And that he'd forgotten who he'd bought the bike from. It was just someone he'd met in the street, and he didn't have their number. Anyway, his accusers were just jealous of his money. https://www.bicycling.com/news/a20011767/italian-cyclist-disqualified-mechanical-doping/ https://www.gazzetta.it/Ciclismo/31-07-2017/ciclismo-andreoli-bici-truccata-presa-uno-sconosciuto-210675962546.shtml
