How the heck do do conceal a motor

"Cycling's governing body is investigating a case of suspected 'technological fraud' after checks on a bike at the cyclo-cross world championships in Belgium, the UCI said in a statement on Saturday.
Media reports said the cycle was found to have a concealed booster motor. "The International Cycling Union confirms that pursuant to the UCI's Regulations on technological fraud a bike has been detained for further investigation following checks at the Women's Under 23 race of the 2016 UCI Cyclo-cross World Championships," the UCI said."

Apparently it wasn't her bike, it was one of her entourage (under 23's have an entourage!) who just happened to leave their dodgy bike in the pits - so thats alright then she's completely innocent

Oh and her brother got done for EPO, so no family history either .....

That's the easy bit. The battery is the hard bit, so they powered it off a dynamo in the front hub.
