By this point, if you've heard of Donkey Kong, then you've also probably heard of Billy Mitchell. The former 'King of Kong' held multiple world records in arcade games such as Pac-Man and the aforementioned, but many have since been called into question, with some accusing him of playing via Multiple Arcade Machine Emulator. Mitchell denies the allegations and has even taken action against Guinness World Records supplier Twin Galaxies.
Now, due to those allegations, Mitchell is claiming that his doctor of 30 years is refusing to see him because he believes he's a cheat. In a new testimony shared on Perfect Pac-Man, this rather unusual claim states:
After Twin Galaxies’ defamatory statements of April 12, 2018, one of Responding Party’s doctors, Dr. Stanley Skopit, refused to see Responding Party after Responding Party appeared for an annual examination. When Responding Party Arrived for his examination, the assistant to Dr. Skopit informed Mitchell that Dr. Skopit would not see him... the assistant informed Responding Party that Dr. Skopit read the allegations from Twin Galaxies.
Mitchell states that the stress of the case has caused him to suffer from a hernia and atrial fibrillation. This testimony comes as part of the deposition process, as he has had to respond to requests for admission and production.

That documentary really fricked up his whole grift. Scrote went from beloved gaming icon and hot sauce entrepreneur to complete pariah so quick.
He must be in a bad way to go after his doctor. If he was still making solid money he'd be able to afford a better doc.

He had actual world
records before that. Has he just 
accepted being beaten 
and been humble he could have been remembered as a former world 
record holder rather then 
an absolute joke.

Did he actually cheat? I've heard people claim that the documentary played up that angle just for the controversy to get views (who cares about an old video game otherwise?), but I've never bothered to look into it either.

It seems like it. He got the attention of some giga-nerds and they seem to think he definitely cheated.
Here's a report from a couple days ago: https://perfectpacman.com/2022/09/06/new-technical-analysis/

That looks really neurodivergent so I'll just assume its true.

He """cheated""" at a gayme - as if there's a better or worse way to make some dumb monkey jump. I would think far worse of him if he actually put the time and energy into getting the records legitimately.

He had gotten away with cheating though. Dude was set, he had plenty of money and fame and whatever. It was only because he shit himself over someone beating him that he drew more scrutiny on his records.
