Apparently camel pageants find camel humps more pleasing when they're plump.

ELI5:

In a 'beauty' pageant with camels as the contestants, officials discovered 20 entrants had injected their camels in the hump with a substance that would make the hump look plumper and better-shaped, with the intent to score higher in the competition. This is against the rules, so those people were disqualified for cheating.

This is unexpected because although many types of banned performance enhancement are common in human beauty and sports competitions, you might never anticipate it would happen in animal competitions, nor imagine the 'ideal' shape of a camel's hump could be such an intense aspect of competition that you'd even want to try.
