    They'd better strip her of those KOMs, or I'm not renewing my Strava Premium membership ...

    "....she blows through the stoplight like it's not even there regardless of cars."

    Automatic disqualification right there.

    My understanding of the UCI Code in this area is that there is no specific prohibition on EPO, stimulants etc, but failure to observe the rules of the road and particularly red lights leads to your licence being endorsed with 'RLJ.'

    Failure to observe a red light means instant disqualification and an automatic win for anyone who saw you - repeat offenders are supposed to be subject to ritual embarassment by being caught and overtaken in a nonchalant fashion:)

    In real news, when I first heard this, I thought it was also satirical - EPO testing at a sportive, with positive results.

    edit: may not be a sportive in the strictest sense of the word, they had an eight grand first prize.
