hidden motor inside bike world cyclo-cross championship

Quote

 

Race organizers discovered a hidden motor inside the bike of 19-year-old Femke Van den Driessche at the world cyclo-cross championship in Belgium, bringing fresh shame to a sport trying to move past a devastating series of doping scandals.

The find was confirmed by Bryan Cookson, the president of the International Cycling Union, or UCI, which oversees global cycling, including the Olympics and the Tour de France.

Hilarious and sad. Competition will make some people do anything. 

People sure will do anything in the name of competition! The Ocho  is a great place to find some ridiculous and amusing sports - or people doing ridiculous things in normal sports :P
