There are accusations of padded bras being used for an aerodynamic advantage taking the cycling world by storm as the Tour de France Femmes takes place across Switzerland and France.
The controversy is heating up just as the third stage resulted in the longest solo breakaway victory in the race's history.
Although it should be mentioned that there's currently no indication that a padded bra played any part in that.
