This reminds me of the documentary 'The King of Kong'
Billy Mitchell is the long standing record holder for the game Donkey Kong. Steve Weibe buys a Donkey Kong arcade machine and beats the record. Mitchell, upset he lost his record, calls shenanigans and says Weibe's machine is rigged, and anybody who's anybody knows that all records are set at so and so place on a certain machine.
So Weibe goes there and beats Mitchell's record again. After Mitchell finds out the bad news, he sends a recording of himself beating the record on his home machine, which despite his protests against Weibe doing so, is announced the world record. Hipocrite, no?
What I'm trying to say is, a record is a record. Kobiyashi ate 69. That's the record. The guy who runs the contest can go fuck himself.
