read_excel drops blank rows

[ElLorans]

System information

• OS Platform and Distribution (e.g., Linux Ubuntu 16.04): Windows 10
• Modin version (modin.__version__): 0.12.1
• Python version: 3.10.1
• Code we can use to reproduce:

import pandas as pd
import modin.pandas as md

pd_df = pd.read_excel("testing.xlsx)
md_df = md.read_excel("testing.xlsx")
print(pd_df.shape[0]-md_df.shape[0])

Describe the problem

When reading an excel file, modin drops blank rows, while pandas does not. I don't know how to prevent modin from skipping blank rows.

Source code / logs

File to reproduce the issue:
