I think the point here is that the current result isn't accurate. I don't see the difference between using a tire iron and using steroids. Jones didn't win the fight within the rules of the sport, and so he shouldn't be given credit for a win.
Why isn't a fight turned into a DQ loss?

Ok this I agree with. I glossed over the TS' question about it being a DQ loss. Yeah an NC sounds right to me.

I understand your point, but I think it would be very easy to determine which drugs are indeed performance enhancing.
No, weed is not the same as steroids. Sure the waters may be muddied but it's easy to make a distinction.

I think it was a option they were considering. I don't really think a loss for a drug failure is good for sports integrity though. They didn't lose.
A No Contest is what it should be ruled and should be added to their record as such. That way if you are curious to see why they have NC on their record, you can see it was a drug failure. It shouldn't be a loss though.
