My recollection is that this guy was winning competitions until they kicked him out on the grounds that without force feeding, it’s not really foie gras.
“He doesn’t look like a guy who’s paying off French judges for his foie gras. So that died down, and very soon afterward, new controversy. He shouldn’t win because it’s not foie gras. It’s not foie gras because it’s not gavage. There’s no force feeding. So by definition, he’s lying and should be disqualified.”
He doesn’t actually say that Sousa was disqualified, but that some people thought he should be.

That’s really interesting if true. Can you find where you read that?
I cannot verify right now, but I believe it was in this TED talk.
Yes, he mentions it there, in passing.
Thanks!
