    If the winning challenger tests positive after a title fight, what do you feel should happen next?

    A) The belt should become vacant and former champ to have dibbs on the fight. But result remains.
    B) Same as A) but result should be overturned.
    C) The former champ should get his belt back, but result remains.
    D) Same as C) but with the result overturned.
    E) Nothing changed at all.
    F) Another solution, please explain.

    I ask this because in many cases even the same alphabet organization had different solutions for the same situation.

    I think D is the most fair way. Fight should be a No Contest

    Fight scrapped to a no-contest, belt goes back to former champ. Simple as that.

    Belt should go back and the decision a loss for the culprit

    I don't know why it's considered a NC

    I once made a thread about that, and most (over 90% if I recall) thought it should indeed be a DQ loss instead.

    I don't believe in the testing system anymore after seeing the testing agency and commission give the ok to a fighter doing illegal IV at home.

    The alleged positive tester should be retroactively issued a TUE, be publicly exonerated, issued an apology for the inconvenience, and have their B sample thrown out on the grounds that it's an unlawful invasion of their privacy.
