I remember doing the NorCal duathlon series several years back. I came off the run in the chase pack, which was 4-5 guys, with the lead group about 1 minute up and with 4-5 guys. On the bike I had my head down and was more or less just following one of the other guys. Apparently he took a wrong turn, our group followed. Arguably we cut distance off the course with our route (although there was an argument about whether our route was the same distance). Anyway, after the race I turned myself in to be disqualified, but the race directors did not DQ the offending group, but rather awarded two first place awards (I think I finished 5th so I was out of the money either way).

I remain of the opinion that was a crap decision. You have a set course and a set finish line without ambiguity or it taints the whole competition.
