Zwift Racing by itself is the Wild Wild West. No moderating of final results for riders competing in the wrong classification, let alone height for weight verification. I wrote an Open Letter to Eric Min on this site earlier this year, and even though Rappstar replied and I could read between the lines of what he was saying, nothing has been done. Thankfully I discovered the WTRL - Zwift Racing League. The league consists of 15,000 riders total. Is free to join. And they actually care about fair and transparent eSport competition! Proof is they are spot-checking teams for weight and height verification.
Additionally, if a rider upgrades outside of category w/kg limits before the 4th race of the series, they are required to move up and race with another team in the correct category. Many people have commented in past threads that they don't take Zwift Racing too seriously and just enjoy it for a hard workout. Myself and many others though absolutely do take it serious. Without any other form of IRL racing going on, it satisfies a serious itch for me. And additionally, I LOVE bike racing, but I'm scared to death to ride in a real bike race due to crashing. Zwift gives me the thrill of real life bike racing, without the chance of breaking a collar bone... which would really stymie my swimming. It's fantastic to be able to race Triathlon long course in the warm seasons, and race Zwift in the winter in a league that has integrity.
THANK YOU WTRL - ZWIFT RACING LEAGUE for all that you do.

Weight & Height Verification
Tomorrow (Friday 12th) Selected Team Captains will receive an email requesting that the team they select for Race 6 submit Weight & Height verification. (height verification will be required once only).
