I can't imagine this is why you were being penalized. If this were the case, competitor sites could very easily influence the ranking of another site by throwing non-relevant and bad neighborhood links to it.
A possible exception to this could be links from a known link farm or paid links.
In any case, this is a Joe Job waiting to happen, and I think the SEs are smarter than this.
