The Union Cycliste
Internationale has detained a bike used in the women���s
under-23 cyclo-cross world championship race in Zolder, Belgium, on
Saturday as it is suspected of ���technological fraud���.
UCI inspectors had been examining bikes during the event, and the
bike of European under-23 champion, Belgian Femke Van den
Driessche was detained after something suspicious was found.
Checks were being made to bikes for ���mechanical doping��� ��� an
electric motor concealed in a bike to aid the rider ��� among other
technical infringements.
A brief statement was issued by the UCI, reading: ���The Union
Cycliste Internationale (UCI) confirms that pursuant to the UCI���s
Regulations on technological fraud a bike has been detained for
further investigation following checks at the Women���s Under 23
race of the 2016 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships.
���This does not concern any of the riders on the podium. Further
details will be shared in due course.���
