Yes, there have been many examples at rides I have atteended personally,
and the "problem" was "resolved" by falsifying the official results.

I, personally, am of the opinion that this is a problem that should not be
ignored (as I am of the opinion that rules, if they are to be rules,
should not be selectively ignored--rules, if they are rules should be
enforced strictly or stricken from the books, in fact, as Abraham Lincoln
once said, "The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it
strictly.")
