Strava Cheating

Recommended Posts

Hi there all, I know this is NOT a major issue... but I'm interested non the less.

 

There are segment KOM's that are obviously achieved using motorised help...

 

Is there a way to remove them ?

 

not accusing anyone, but maybe just driving home and forgot to switch gps off ...

Obviously Strava has it's weaknesses. I've seen segments down Tokai in excess of 200kph and not just 1 person but a whole bunch. Would really love to see that :eek:

I made a "KOM" yesterday, my riding partner punctured and I went back to get my van and forgot about my strava, got "KOM" on a popular little climb, a HUBBER helped me just to CROP out my moment of blondness

But i'm not the person who "cheated".. I just see the name and the record in the list .

Flagging the ride is for others that suspect the activity to be "cheated", this then gives the options allowing the rider to mark it as private, crop his / her ride, un-flag it (if it was legit) or request that the Strava support team investigate it.

 

I would probably only use the last option if my ride was legit and someone flagged it multiple times.

:thumbup:  Like I said, just very interested ... and I'm nowhere near nasty enough or bored enough to go flagging everything

when I see abnormal KOM's I usually check the ride the particular individual has done.One only has to look into the history of the rider to see if the figures are genuine or just good old BS.I suppose after a while the novelty wears off of constantly chasing KOM'S .I use strava as my training aid and hook up with my buddy's .Keep it real.Bull **** baffles brains.
