After the optimization of the break rules and pattern racking and waxgate, I found this wider view of science and cheating in sports pretty interesting.

Every sport can benefit from some sort of statistical analysis, a la moneyball. Math nerds invariably find a way to suck the joy out of everything via meta analysis and optimization.

Look at football this season and record breaking kicking. The teams are now allowed to get the ball and tweak them days before.
 
Bike riding too.

Records are getting crushed and the prior holders were doped up like science experiments.
