Cheating Allegations Stir Controversy in Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest

Nick Wehry's score adjusted after accusations of manipulating plates to inflate tally; investigation raises questions about competition integrity.

Nick Wehry's official score was reduced from 51.75 to 46.75 hot dogs after he admitted to touching another competitor's plates.
Videos show Wehry moving plates after the contest, leading to claims he artificially boosted his total.
Major League Eating (MLE) initially refused to adjust the score but later complied with Wehry's request.
The scandal has sparked debate over the need for stricter enforcement and use of video evidence in competitive eating.
Wehry's wife, Miki Sudo, defended him, while some insiders believe the incident damages the sport's reputation.
