Rule changes to level the playing field because either someone found an exploit or just got too good is moderately common across multiple sports.
1) In basketball they have widened the lane twice because of talented big men[1]
2) They also made goal tending illegal because of talented big men[1]
3) For a short period of time dunking was illegal in the NCAA[1]
4) Bob Gibson was so good at pitching that they lowered the mound
5) David Berkoff was so good a swimming underwater that Fina made swimmers come up at 15 meters (he would do 40 sometimes)
