    GOP voting changes set for approval by Wisconsin Legislature.
    Associated Press (Center) • Factual Grade 80% • 3 min read

    The Republican-controlled Wisconsin Legislature was prepared to pass a package of fast-tracked bills this week that would make it more difficult to vote in the presidential battleground state, election year measures that are all but certain to be vetoed by Democratic Gov. Tony Evers.
    ...
    One of the proposals up this week would give the Legislature control over guidance delivered to local election clerks by the state elections commission. Another would limit who could claim to be indefinitely confined, which allows them to vote absentee without showing a photo ID. [A third] would prohibit anyone other than the voter, an immediate family member or a legal guardian to return an absentee ballot.
    ...
    At least two of the measures would sidestep Evers and instead eventually go to voters to consider. Constitutional amendments up for votes this week would bar donations from outside groups to help run elections and say that only U.S. citizens can vote. Those could be put up for voter approval in 2023, a year before the presidential election.

No - The circumstances of the positive tests are really irrelevant. Banned, means banned…period. If athletes who are caught using banned substances are permitted to compete, there is no reason to have a banned substance list, and in that case, all athletes should be allowed to use any and all options to maximize their physical abilities.
