The substance is used as a heart medication outside of the U.S. but is not approved for sale in the U.S. by the Food and Drug Administration. She was cleared to resume competing in September 2018. But her lawsuit said the damage had been done, as she had to sit out major swimming events, return grants and prizes from the U.S. Olympic Committee and USA Swimming, and delay seeking lucrative sponsorships. Last summer, a World Anti-Doping Agency accredited lab found that the vitamin Cox was taking at the time of her test contained trace amounts of the banned substance, according to the law firm representing Cox.

This year, as Kleinman seeks a fourth term, the law enforcers have gone silent — even as one of their own seeks to unseat him. The DPA’s focus on its other enemy, District 13 candidate Laura Miller, and its shift away from Kleinman is a reflection of political reality. Even though police issues are again pronounced in the campaign, Kleinman in 2017 beat his opponent, real estate blogger Candy Evans, by a margin of nearly 2-to-1. And the irascible Kleinman is a prolific fundraiser who appears well-positioned to win a fourth term. But juvenile detention officer Curtis Traylor Harris, 31, hopes he can capitalize on his law enforcement background to pull off an upset.

[Brutal attack on trans woman is far from the only stain on this southeast Dallas apartment's ledger]( From Metro columnist Robert Wilonsky: The TV cameras came Monday to the Royal Crest Apartments, another in a long line of Dallas complexes you've heard about for all the wrong reasons. Activists had called a news conference to protest the savage beating of a transgender woman that occurred there Friday evening, after a traffic accident turned violent, hateful. Outside the fence line, near East Overton Road, reporters formed their semi-circle, asked their questions, got their sound bites about the "mob violence" that occurred at the complex. Inside the fence, past the two cop cars that guarded the complex's main driveway, two women captured Monday's spectacle on cellphones. They didn't say much or give their names. One said only that the TV cameras were late. She said they should have been here a week ago, a month ago, a year ago. I asked the woman with gold-capped teeth what the place is like. She rolled her eyes at me. Friday evening's assault at Royal Crest is hardly the first stain on an otherwise spotless record. [The place is all shades of scary, tenants say, and has been for a while.]( 👋 That's all for this afternoon! For up-to-the-minute news and analysis, check out [DallasNews.com](. Share the love!
