 Nick Warey is accused of using sleight of hand to beef up his count. Video from the event shows him slyly snatching a plate from a nearby competitor and adding it to his own pile, just as judges came around to officially tally the results. Each empty plate counts as five hot dogs, so Warey was credited with having downed 51 dogs, even though it's clear one plate's worth of his score never ended up in his stomach.
