First Ever e-Racing National Champ Banned

Cameron Jeffers found guilty of pre-race data tampering

Britain’s first male national e-racing champion has been stripped of his title following a breach of conduct.

Cameron Jeffers (CyclingHub) won the inaugural championships in March, but British Cycling announced on Friday that it had upheld a breach “related to manipulation of pre-race data to gain an unfair advantage”.

Cycling Weekly understands that the breach relates to the use of the Concept Z1 (Tron) bike, which racers seek to unlock for its aerodynamic efficiency.

Jeffers had manipulated pre-race game data to help unlock the bike, with data indicating that on multiple occasions he had ridden for over 200 kilometres, at 2,000 watts with a weight of 45kg.
