Cycling's world governing body the UCI is two months away from announcing a raft of tests to combat so-called motor doping.
New UCI president David Lappartient is confident the new measures will end the conjecture about how big a problem technological fraud is in the sport.
While there have been isolated cases of riders being caught with motors in their bikes, no-one is quite sure about how prevalent it is - or whether top riders are guilty.
But there has been no end of finger pointing, with a new book released in France even bringing disgraced star Lance Armstrong into the issue.
There is bike testing in place, but the UCI was supposed to announce new measures this month.
Speaking on Sunday at Adelaide's Tour Down Under, Lappartient said that would now happen in March.
"We are ready, we know what we will do," he said.
He added the UCI would allocate 500,000 euros per year to combat motor doping at all levels of the sport.
"I hope we have nobody cheating with this today, but I want to be sure," he said..
"With the technology we will bring, I think there's no way to go outside (the rules).
"I am confident we will solve this problem - I think this is a little bit less difficult to solve than the doping situation."
