I have no idea where you get that, Frink.  Unintentional cheating to be sure, but it sure as hell fits the definition.  Rules were broken, with no attempt to rectify them, and it gave the other competitor an unfair advantage, one that led her to win when she otherwise would not have.  The time mistake was not cheating.  Refusing to overturn the decision when it was in clear and flagrant violation of the rules was.  It's ridiculous to NOT call it a form of cheating.
