Hey everyone! There has been an ongoing chat about cheating in Zwift, some of us are trying to address this. There has been a FB group started where we are sharing/providing info to show that we are as legit as the numbers that we are putting out. This is not just for men, or “A” riders, we are welcoming everyone to this group in the attempt to legitimize Zwift events. Also please sign up on ZwiftPower.com if you haven’t already. Thanks!!

“ZwifTransparency is a non-authoritative, voluntary group where the community of Zwift Racers can push each other for transparency and honesty in the pursuit of clean sport.
This group is not a weight loss contest. Body Dysmorphia and issues of self-esteem attached to body image warrant serious attention. Fat shaming, boasting, and negative behavior will not be tolerated. This group is solely for advancing Zwift racing’s transparency through an individual's voluntary submission of data to support their Zwift profile.
If you do not feel comfortable sharing your information to the group, no worries—there is zero obligation to do so. If you would like to participate but do not want to post publicly, feel free to contact any moderator and they would be happy to review and vouch for your data.
Weigh-ins should follow the following protocol:
1) Begin FB Live video feed, wave hello
2) Tare scale to 0, place control weight of choice (5kg, 15kg, etc) to show accuracy
3) Tare scale to 0, step on scale for body weight
4) Tare scale to 0, step on scale with control weight + body weight
5) End video
Simple as that: wave hello, weigh-in, sign off.
An additional push for transparency will be rider power meter to trainer comparison of a few efforts: 5-15s power, 1 min, and 5 min. These are not maximal efforts to prove Zwift race power--but efforts to show how trainer and power meter track over duration.
All of this is voluntary. We love Zwift racing and we'd like it to be as fair as possible for us all.
