There was a huge scandal in CSGO a few years ago where people started thinking a top professional player had been cheating in a major LAN, and that was about when he came up with the gameref. The player was banned for cheating, but whether that was on LAN or in online games is still unknown.

The cheat was allegedly injected into the game through an exploit in a custom map which you could download through steam.
