There have been plenty of sprinters (probably most) who have been DQed or relegated for deviating from their line, but not with such serious consequences.
Djamolidine Abdoujaparov was well known as a dangerous sprinter, and people have complained about Cav's sprinting, though I haven't seen it being any worse than any other.

Is a railway line better or worse than a load of spectators who would ordinarily be there. The scandal, frankly, is the UCI not banning riders who deviate so much for longer and sending a strong message. I’m sure Groenewegen has previous for this but I can’t recall exactly when to look it up.
