Community Welfare and Anti-Harassment Update [April 2021]

Hi everyone, we want to clarify several points:

Height and weight can serve as unhealthy triggers for some, and we’ve removed them from public view for this reason.

We know how important ZwiftPower is to the racing community. The changes made simply remove the labels that can act as unhealthy triggers. Average watts and w/kg will remain visible so the ability to validate results and weights will remain.

The 2 hour pre-race weigh-in window only impacts international pro-am races. This option is used by the IOC, and is becoming a standard that pros should be familiar with.

We encourage community racers to report suspected cheating (as well as harassment) offline, rather than making public accusations. Our Customer Support agents have all the tools to look at egregious changes in weight and make informed decisions if someone is “weight doping” or not. This process maintains privacy for all parties and that’s why we’ve been doing it this way since last September.
