And about the megalomanic Roman Emperor Nero "successfully" participating in the 67 AD Olympics in a chariot race with cheating (a 10-horse chariot instead of the usual 4 horses, which got him a considerable horsepower advantage ...that, oh irony, he couldn't handle: DNF): after he died a year later, his name was removed from the list of winners.
