There was a notorious "poop-throwing" incident last year involving a VGC National Champion getting banned and stripped of his title... so yes.

Every ban is on a case by case basis. I was banned for 6 months back in 2006. Depends on what you did/severity/etc.

here, in Argentina, a player was banned since 2011 till 2016 for hitting a judge at a state championship xD

in 8:15 he does not even offer to cut just simply takes his deck after stacking the catcher and draws WOW cheater

The interesting part is, this was sensationalism rather than a game-related ban. In VGC, we have statistically seen stricter penalties for out of game "violations" than any attempts to cheat IN a tournament.
I hope that never happens in TCG. Keep the judges at the game table, please.

If this guy behaves whiles he watched by judges and doesn't behave while on cam says something. I think this guy should be hawk-eyed by judges. Kinda sad though if it has to go that far. There has been numerous accusation of cheating across the game, but if this guys stacking his deck - I suggest to all of his opponents to cut/and or shuffle his deck.

I´m pretty sure Newman didn´t start cheating in Round 3.
So it might have affected the tournament, but nothing crucial I think.

NO, there was only one St. Louis player playing Klingklang, and that was John Roberts II...and we know what happened to him!!!

There were a few more Missouri players that played Klingklang at nats. I think as far as Mid Missouri players went 2 played Darkrai/Chandelure, 2 played Kyurem, and the rest (like 5-6) played Klinklang. They went anywhere from 1-4 drop/this deck sucks, to 6-3 bubble
I don't think Newman went to nats this year.

I think the public blew up the incident and made it sound like the guys were literally flinging poop around like Pokeballs.
It actually is a logical thing to require, many TCG's do.
Something interesting to watch...and watch out for:
Overhand shuffles, like Newman does around :50 after placing a Garchomp on top and bottom. Watch this:

Um, looks like there will be a follow-up to this story. It has not ended.

This will be interesting. I look forward to seeing what's next - I hope the crusade against cheating in this game has only begun. I still see WAY too much of it.
