If the cheating is random, either:
0.  It will be rare enough to not affect their ELO much, in which case the
probablility of you facing such a cheater will not affect your ELO much.
1.  It will be often enough to raise their ELO in a factor equivalent to the
probability of their cheating against you.

The ELO system is self-healing, even against cheaters.
