im talking about fights that actually happened, then a guy who either won or drew tests positive

these usually become no contest, etc......but if guys get dq'd for cheating in other ways (eg low blow) why is drug use so different

jack got changged to a dq winner over bute in a scenario like this, but it's almost always a no contest

It's a serious rule infringement. Seems odd you can get DQ'd for holding, but not for PEDS.

Though they don't like disqualifying anyone post-fight.

Even when Luis Resto was sent to prison for tampered gloves, it was still declared a NC.

Yes. It's cheating outside the ring that carries into the ring.

Yh no way the cheat should have a “no contest” should be loss.

Drugs = auto loss

Honestly, i dont give a fk. Just look at Haney - Garcia. Every pro fighter is on PEDs. Both Haney and Garcia know that and both of them are on PEDS. Only Garcia was caught. All fanboys act like roided hulk beat some innocent boy. LOL. All this VADA testing is just relulations and prevent fighters from being total steroid overload.
DQ loss? Tyson, Holyfield, Halger, Bowe and hundreds of fighters from 80s and 90s would have a losing records. Roid testing were non existent then. PEDS are part of the sport, sad truth.

No. In fact I don't acknowledge wins changed to No Contests for this reason as anything short of wins.

Mike Tyson still knocked out Andrew Golota

James Toney still won the WBA Heavyweight title from John Ruiz.

And so on
