Actually, the Heroes Association didn't care if he cheated on that. It's the public that cared. They thought he must have come in and stolen the kill after everyone else weakened it so he would rank up. The Association runs mainly on two things, reported kills by yourself, and reported kills by the public. They still ranked him up, because either way, he won. The only thing that the Association thinks he cheated on possibly is the test. Mainly because the public hates him, and his scores were so unbelievable despite him not having any achievements before. He never won any fighting competitions, was never part of a dojo, has no recorded history of fighting at all, yet somehow is that strong. It's sort of natural they would suspect that something was up.

Honestly though, i think the written portion should count for less. If you're strong enough to fight monsters and want to do so, who cares if you're as dumb as a brick? Even most of the S-Class were actually much lower in rank before it was founded. If i remember correctly, at the time SuperAlloy Darkshine was in the very last place, as literally last as you can be. They were put in S-class because they realized these people were stronger than the highest ranked so far, and could beat anything. So really, had Saitama been in the Heroes Association back then, he probably would be in S-Class as soon as they founded it, because he fits the original mold for S-Class, not the tested S-Class.
