What was the reason for the overturn? It's A Bird tested positive for naproxin which led to the disqualification. Was there dispute about testing procedures or the level found? I assume Runforthedoe goes back to 2nd. When drug DQs occur, what is the impact on bettors?

You didn't read the story.

The Gann Estate returned the purse money. He was disqualified...then and now.

Sorry about that, I really gotta stop eating Christmas cookies so late. I did read the story, multiple times, so how I missed that I'm not sure. I'll blame a spike in my blood sugar. I think I was under the impression the purse had already been returned so when it got redistributed, that's probably what confused me. I must've been thinking of the ruling that got upheld from before.

I made the same mistake the first time I saw the story.

It is because the first time they wrote it they said it was denied or said it in terms that they got to keep the funds. They redid the story because I thought they kept the funds also until I read the update yesterday

You can expect mistakes like that when DRF has to compete with TMZ to deliver breaking news.
