Video Description
Chris Marshall-Bell is the journalist behind Ghost in the Machine—my favorite podcast of 2024 and one of the most gripping pieces of investigative journalism in recent memory. In this episode, we explore the hidden world of doping in cycling, with a special focus on motor doping—the use of hidden engines in bikes that has shaken the sport to its core. Chris shares what he uncovered during his investigation: shadowy cover-ups, industry silence, and the questions no one wants to ask. We talk about how cycling's obsession with performance has created the perfect environment for tech-enhanced cheating, and whether fans can still believe what they see on race day.
