This is one reason why I like keirin, Japanese bicycle racing. Everyone has to use the same old steel frame bikes, there is no contact with the outside world (for riders) before races, and the uniform colors are randomly selected. The funny part is that keirin is one of the few sports in Japan that people can bet on (with large prizes for winners, too), so the mere inclusion of gambling doesn't necessarily mean bad outcomes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keirin https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keirin
