Hello to evereyone
someone can tell me how I should proceed if I want signale a dishonest Strava user?
Unfortunately, the Strava user in question has blocked me, and I cannot access his activities. The person in question is over 70 (!) years old and rides his modified Specialized E-Tarmac on our segments, stealing the KOMs. Several Strava users have already tried to block the person, but no one can access his profile.
Greetings, Stephan
Hi
here's a summary of what you can do in such a situation: https://support.strava.com/hc/en-us/articles/206522304-How-to-Report-Cheating-on-Strava
Many thanks Jana ! I allready try it last year, but any action from Strava side 
.
Can you post some segment URLs where this user has stolen the KOM? He can’t block everyone.
Of course Jan 
. Here 2 examples.
www.strava.com/activities/15353829700/segments/3387835456724244036
www.strava.com/activities/15341981458/segments/3387472660361278170
So this person actually does have HR data, this is from the following activity, https://www.strava.com/activities/15195393047/analysis
It seems legit but I’m not a cyclist -
The activities are very suspicious, that’s for sure, especially for this age group. But can I say with certainty from the analysis that they are done with motor support? Unfortunately not, they are just barely within the realms of possibility provided that this E DT is a retired first class athlete. So we only have the word that a tuned Specialized E-Tarmac is used and of course I don’t doubt that, but I’m reluctant to flag the rides when I only have third party information.
Hi Jan,
many thanks for your reply. I understand your reaction, but I can confirm that Mr. Emil Den Tandt was never a first class athlete. He started biking very late. He ist a good friend of Erich MAUS, a person that I know myself. Mr. Maus is now 85 years old, and he is biking with Mr. Den Tandt. Mr. MAUS confirm to me that Mr. Den Tandt is using an E-Bike. Not later than last wek, I cross Mr. Den Tandt with his E-MTB … .
It’s up to to too decide, but AVG that he reaches are not realistic for his age and his past … .
Here one more example :
www.strava.com/activities/15341981458/segments/3387472660358654682
Pierre Courtoy is a very very good biker. He is 44 years old.
Here one more example. AVG 50 km/h.
www.strava.com/segments/28793220
Cyril Mathieu is 11 seconds behind… . E DT BPM 164 …
In doubt, you can contact Pierre Courtoy.
Greetings, Stephan
Others have beaten me to flag his KOM rides for the provided examples, but feel free to add other examples if you find them :-)
Great Jan !! Many thanks. I hope that this guy will be in futre more honest.
I will reply with other examples this evening or tommorow. I have to check the concerned segents.
Here juste one example.

Just curious, is the person you are talking about the guy in red in the photos/videos on Erich Maus’s page? Seems they ride together a lot. I do see that person riding a Specialized E-bike.
Good morning Jan
as promise, here some others segments:

Good morning anchskier,
the guy in red is Erich himself. On the pictures he is riding with his son.
Have a nice day!
Hi Jan
many thanks for you support !
On behalf of all honest cyclists: THANK YOU 
!
Can you report the following segments from him?
I don't gain any advantage from this myself, but a few friends of mine will be happy because they also have no way of reporting it because they are blocked.

For you too, rides are flagged now.
Hi Jan
I don’t know how EDT has managed it, but he is number one again on flagged segments… .
Greetings, Stephan
Those seems to be other rides than the ones I flagged. I created some new flags now.
Good morning Jan,
It's very strange that E DT now has best times on segments that are already 6-7 years old. For example, I noticed this morning that on the segment below, where I've had the best time for a year, his best time from 2018 suddenly appears. I wonder how he does that.
www.strava.com/activities/12143138860#3258705690074824588
Greetings, Stephan
Maybe he starts to change old ebike activities to the ride activity type. For now you have your kom back.
Hi Jan,
Can you please tell me how many best times (KOMs) E DT achieved on 21 May 2025 and 26 May 2025? I will contact his friend Erich and ask him to convince E DT to declare his activities as e-bike tours.
Greetings, Stephan
Please also activity from 22.07.2025.
And least but not least activity from 12.06.2025
He has a private account, without specific segments I can’t say anything about his KOMs.
Good morning Jan,
no problem. I will open again a new ticket on Strava and I hope that Strava will enter in action.
Ere another segment, where an old activity from E DT is now number one. Can you please flag his activity?

Have a nice day
