And by that way of thinking Sam....steroids are not cheating unless you get caught? Cheating is still cheating whether you get caught or not!
This is a weak comparison. If the judges had seen steroid tests positive and not said anything then it would be the same. This is what they did with Kitajima, so they are the ones at fault. He won (maybe not fair and square) but he won, the judges allowed it. The only way my opinion would change that he "cheated" is if he paid them off not to disqualify him. Then he and the judges are guilty. I don't care if he did it of one wall or 50 walls, the judges were the ones who let him get away with it, therefore he won.
