Previously there was Serena coming out of the drug testing pool.

Then in the summer there was Serena tucking into the weight loss drugs.

Now there is Serena re-entering the drug testing pool.

It really doesn't pass the smell test, but as the GLP-1 drugs aren't on WADA's banned list they'll be no need to retreat to a panic room.

Shame this option wasn't open to Bananito back in the day.

GLP-1 drugs are on WADA's monitor/assessment list, like tramadol was for a time before banned. However, their expanded use probably make it doubtful they would ban it. There is a variant coming out soon that will promote weight loss without loss of muscle mass; I would think WADA would take a closer look at that one.
And as I mentioned above the optics are very strange (for folks looking at things from out perspective) to see Serena injecting herself in mainstream TV commercials.
