職業自行車選手 Willie Smit 近期遭遇職業生涯重大處罰，因參賽期間佩戴 Oakley Meta 智能眼鏡，比賽成績被組委會直接作廢，這也是他從業 14 年來首次被取消參賽資格。
賽後 Smit 表示，自己並不知曉賽事 4 月更新的新規，條例明確競技全程禁止佩戴智能眼鏡，賽後他還將眼鏡錄製的第一視角騎行畫面發布社交平台記錄賽程。
此次事件也讓智能穿戴設備的賽場監管問題浮出水面。和傳統手持運動相機不同，智能眼鏡集成鏡頭、收音模組與 AI 運算功能，外觀和普通運動墨鏡差異極小，隱蔽性更強，能夠實時傳輸、分析各類資訊，賽事方普遍擔憂這類設備會破壞競技公平。
體育賽事限制智能眼鏡並非個案，印度頂級板球聯賽早已出台禁令。組委會顧慮設備可實現場外即時通訊、實時獲取賽場數據，甚至存在協助投注的隱患。放到自行車競速項目中，智能眼鏡未來可實時解析賽道路況、推送戰術建議、自動調整騎行節奏，相當於具備 「技術外掛」 屬性，因此各類體育組織正加快完善相關使用規範。
Today I was disqualified for the first time in my cycling career (14 years), for wearing glasses that record video. Unfortunately I was not aware of a new rule that was implemented in April that prohibited this. A warning, fine or yellow card could have also been enough. But what I struggle to understand is why In the Tour de France can you quite literally vlog with a camera in your hand which is perfectly legal...but because the camera is in the glasses you get an automatic Disqualification?! Yes, If I knew about the rule I would have also never posted it on social media. Anyways, I'll take it on the chin. Here is the video that got me disqualified & the other video is just to show what is completely allowed it seems. And lastly, my glasses have absolutely no AI capabilities unless used with a phone. So on the bike it can do nothing but record video!
不過 Smit 對此持有不同看法，他提出環法等頂級賽事一直允許選手手持相機記錄畫面，智能眼鏡只是更換了拍攝載體。但二者存在本質區別：手持相機的拍攝行為一目了然，而鏡框內置鏡頭無明顯提示，旁人難以分辨設備是否處於錄製狀態，極易引發隱私泄露與賽場信任危機。
