Several have disagreed with my statement. Some have said/or suggested I am advocating rule breaking and suggesting poor character/sportsmanship.

But there are no examples given of when a person is cheating and the referee knowing the facts approved of it OR there was no foreknowledge of rule breaking.

The examples @carpediemracing cited all fit what I said.
-After the fact placing. You knowingly did nothing. You didn't cheat. This is akin to gears in that you could have stayed around. The officials have the 15 min rule. BTW - I have seen them overturn their decisions' days later and award a different state champion based on video I had of the finish and Facebook revolt.
-Wrong lines on roll-out. You had foreknowledge it was wrong you didn't do it. The referee did NOT have the facts. You did not break the rules.
-Cane creak - referee was talked to and agreed.
