Yes - from Wiki:

On 9 December 2022, the International Tennis Integrity Agency announced that Majchrzak has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for banned substances at the Sofia Open, the Japan Open and the Seoul Challenger. In June 2023, the agency suspended Majchrzak for 13 months, while acknowledging that Majchrzak had not "knowingly or intentionally" committed an offense.

He got into qualies on a wild card & beat a fellow qualifier by 0 & 0 in the first round.

How was he allowed to continue to play after testing positive in 3 tour events?

A very respectable score against a player who should not be playing at this level, always feel it punishes the opponent a bit when a banned player has to start at the bottom again. However good experience for Oliver playing against a talented although maybe rusty opponent.
