For those that think Fury is still the lineal champ, how do the failed tests factor into it?

If he failed a test against Klitschko and the result was changed to a DQ or a no decision, then of course he wouldn't be lineal champion because he'd no longer be the man who beat the man.
But a failure from a different fight is irrelevant.

look, this is just a silly argument to me
Fury.....
1) held all 4 recognized titles
2) was never beaten
3) only retired in the minds of people who wanted him gone lol
4) will be in action this month
he is not one of the two best heavyweights on the planet, and may not even be the 3rd best heavyweight on the planet..... proving that lineage is highly overrated
my bottom line on this is..... really, who cares ?
NOBODY else could possibly lay claim to being undisputed, or lineal..... Wilder/Joshua need to fight in order to determine that
who cares what Fury is until he fights/beats one of them ?
Has anyone pointed out to you that he never held the WBC yet? also how was klitschko the man he never had all four recognised titles and who did he beat that goes all the way back down the lineage?
