The design of Arenas are that anyone can win them, regardless of rating.

That may be the design, but it doesn't work in practice. A sandbagging player has a better chance than anyone.
Play some arena tournaments and you'll see I'm right.

I almost always play in Arenas, unless I'm just doing a quick test of something. And the top of the leaderboards, when I stick around are mixed. But they're doing what they are designed to do and lower rated players win them.
If someone is clearly sandbagging, they should be reported.

I have. Nothing happens, and that's understandable. How do you differentiate between a sandbagger and a player who had a bad day then has a really good day?
