Didn't Lance do something very similar on top of the Alpe, or was it Ventoux, with Pantani? Poeple would have bet on the stage outcome, and Lance gifted it. The whole 'match' (race) result didn't change, just that particular 'frame' (stage).

If someone is going to 'gift' a stage to a team-mate or rival to say thanks or pocket £300k, no difference.

I think the bookmakers who were going to be defrauded out of a few million quid by an organised crime syndicate might have something to say about that.

"Gifting" a stage is a different thing, there is no criminal intent and no financial gain for those involved.
