If he didn't show up for suit inspection, then he still should be considered a "no show" for the 100 fly. If going to suit inspection is part of the rules, he failed to follow them.
I believe that the argument was that by failing to get to the suit inspection on time he was automatically DQed from the 100 fly and so not expected to show up at the blocks. The difference with a no-show is that you are DQed from the next event.
This is undoubtedly a loophole in the rules, but whether it a loophole or not it's still the rules.
