Mykhailo Mudryk Could Be Suspended Four Years For Doping Offense
Mykhailo Mudryk faces a potential four-year ban after being charged with a doping offense. Mudryk tested positive for a performance-enhancing substance named meldonium and provisionally suspended back in December.
\"We can confirm that Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with Anti-Doping Rule Violations alleging the presence and/or use of a prohibited substance, in terms of Regulations 3 and 4 of The FA\'s Anti-Doping Regulations,\" said the FA in a statement. \"As this is an ongoing case, we are not in a position to comment further at this time.\"
Chelsea declined to comment on the FA\'s latest action. Sources have told ESPN that the drug was likely administered while he was outside of the United Kingdom.
Chelsea bought Mudryk in January 2023 for a transfer fee of €70 million after he was initially close to joining Arsenal.
