Re: Performance enhancing 2 point 0!
Some might say anything that's not lugged steel 8 speed is bike doping.
On the other hand, to paraphrase Henry Ford, whether you think your bike makes a difference, or don't think it does, you're probably right.
(motorized bikes excepted of course!)

Hey, Dave Spiers is running Di2 now and seems to be riding exceptionally well!
I think we need to x-ray his bike to just to be sure he's 'clean'!
Very scary if this is actually happening in the pro peleton though. Imagine how much extra help you could get from an additional 100-200 watts. Drug and blood doping doesn't even come close to giving you that much benefit!
And with many standard pro bikes coming in well under the 15lb minimum (and having to add additional weight to comply with UCI regs) - it wouldn't be hard to sneak it in with negligible weight difference.
