I have no proof but my best instincts say this is untrue. From all of the code I see there isn't any indication that just because one player has higher ping than others that it takes any more resources to deal with that player such that it would slow the server down for everybody else. The reason I think people believe this is that when they see the lagging player, they see him skipping around, and because of that they get the perception that they must be lagging too. A lagging player is also harder to shoot at. Other than that though the only harm I think it does is take up a spot that would otherwise go to a normal pinging player.
