OP
Think? Probably. Know? Nope. Care? Not at all. Consider it cheating anyway? Dunno.

Since he competed against, with, and beat a whole horde of dopers in a sport where doping is as competitive and as rarefied as the racing, it would almost be a shock if he didn't, but can't bring myself to care too much either way. Is it cheating to be on a level playing field? Is it cheating in any sense other than the letter of archaic rule books to improve your performance by means available to all in the first place?

If he used an electric motor, internal combustion engine, etc. it would be different.
