Offer Draw

I am new to fly or die chess, so I do not know if this issue has been brought up, but I just played a game in which I was assured victory, yet I was informed that my opponent claimed a draw I did not offer. Is there a move limit ( This is a totally inapt way of describing my point I know)? If there is, it would be appreciated if it was made known publicly

"The player to move can claim a draw if
 - the same position with the same player to move is repeated three times in the game
 - there are have been 50 consecutive moves of white and of black without
 # any piece taken
 # any pawn move"

""The player to move can claim a draw if

That's not correct, you should be able to claim the draw even if you made the last move that makes the 3-fold repetition. With this bug, these time players try to cheat you not claiming the draw, just trying to "win" on time. A 3-fold repetition is always a draw, no matter who moved last. Both players should be able to claim it. Please fix this bug that allows unsportsmanlike behaviors... (even more!!).

PS: computers room won't avoid engines cheating people, but will avoid all kinds of time "wins" that are really dead draws or even losses. This site is nowadays more like CheatOrDie...
