The Women’s Tour de France has become embroiled in controversy as some cyclists have accused others of cheating by wearing a padded bra that helps with aerodynamics. Elite racers of all sorts try to gain every advantage they can, even if the gain might seem extremely negligible to the rest of the world. As such, some female cyclists have used bras that make their bosoms rounder to aid in the aerodynamics of their bodies as they race. Padded bras are expressly forbidden under International Cycling Union (UCI) rules, which ban women from enhancing the size of their chests to gain advantages. Tour de France Femmes, the race organizer, ASO, released a statement on the issue after calls for action were made.
