Yes, it happens. I know of a guy who went from ATP/CFI/CFII to PPL (Day/VFR Only).

Lots of ways to fail a ride if the examiner feels u deserve to. Happens all the time, some reasons better than others.

Ouch - sounds like my portfolio Can you elaborate and still protect the party? Just curious what egregious fouls caused such a fall.

If you boot the ride badly enough, they can revoke your driver's license, library card, and APC membership!

I heard of that happening as well, but in this case the instructor administering the guy's ATP discovered his logbook was largely a work of fiction and turned him in. The logbook search was prompted by his having such poor flying skills.
