Is it an extreme position? Video game high scores and speedrunning are sports that rely on honour to a certain extent, because it's difficult to detect sophisticated cheating even with video evidence, and many of Twin Galaxies' old records do not even have that, being verified by referees (at least one of whom has his own dodgy history) without surviving proof.
If someone is found to have cheated, their other records also lose credibility because of that honour component. Also, suspending records is maybe the only form of leverage honest players have.
