The sport suffers from many of the same issues that other sports and gambling suffers from, and there are steps in place to try to combat that.
Lance Armstrong won multiple Tour de Frances before his doping was uncovered. Card counters, players or referees influencing game outcomes and other systems of 'cheating' are not as uncommon as they should be, and may never be.
Tracks do what they can, when they can for the most part. They do want a fair game. They do listen to reasonable complaints. Not everybody accepts that and I've seen numerous comments of 'the tracks hate us' or similar used.
Some people are nearly impossible to satisfy. They want their Oompa Loompa and they want it NOW!
