Zwift is an esport now, with the UCI Cycling Esports World Championship using the software as well as the Zwift Racing League. Just like real racing, it's not immune to accusations of cheating. Zwift recently banned two riders from its league for cheating—both of them elite competitors in their home country's bike tournaments, and both for the same method of cheating.
Zwift logs the data from riders via power meters, and for competitions requires two sources of data. One of the two banned racers submitted power data that showed a nine percent increase over the course of the race, while the other submitted data with a 32 percent increase. In both cases, Zwift's automated systems flagged them for being, well, pretty sus.
Editing a data log may be different from doping, but a competition is a competition even if it lacks the prestige and prize money of the Tour de . Both riders were banned for six months.
