concluded, quite unsurprisingly, that the South African's race-winning 526-watt attack for four minutes and 16 seconds was achieved by illegitimate means., Cycling South Africa said it has a"zero tolerance policy to any form of cheating" and has begun its own disciplinary process, which will include"engagement" with the UCI.

This sanction entails a six-month suspension from all events held under the Zwift Cycling Esports Rules and Regulations. The sanction comes after Eddy's recent result at the European and African Zwift Continental Qualifying race held on Sunday 13 November 2022. After the investigation by ZADA, he was found guilty of manipulating power data resulting in a 25 per cent higher power reading than actual and the use of signal jammers for the actual power reading not to be picked up in Zwift, amongst other things.

Cycling South Africa subsequently imposes a suspension of the rider's licence from all cycling disciplines while the investigation is in process.
