Mountain Biking (UCI)
Verdict
Cutting course: time penalty or disqualification; Outside assistance: outside tech zones — disqualification; Mechanical doping (motor): immediate disqualification + suspension + fine
Why people argue about this
People often assume that mechanical doping in mountain biking means using a motorized device like a motorbike to assist in riding downhill sections, which is actually illegal but rarely enforced. The confusion arises because they might overlook the official definition stating it's about "motor," implying something electric or driven by human power rather than an external motor vehicle.
