Thunderclap in the Premier League: Mykhailo Mudryk, Ukrainian international for Chelsea, tested positive during a doping test. The London club confirmed this information in an official press release.
Chelsea and Mudryk cooperate with authorities
In a statement, Chelsea assured its support for the ongoing disciplinary process: “The Football Association recently contacted our player Mykhailo Mudryk regarding an abnormal result during a routine urine test. Mykhailo categorically confirmed that he never knowingly used any banned substances. We are now working with the relevant authorities to establish the causes of this result. »
The player and his entourage are now waiting for the results of the B sample to determine if the first test was valid. At the same time, Mudryk hired the services of the Morgan Sports Law firm, which specializes in defending athletes, particularly in doping cases. This same cabinet allowed Paul Pogba to see his initial 4-year suspension reduced to 18 months.
A possible 4-year suspension
If the B sample confirms the initial results, Mudryk risks a suspension of up to 4 years, a heavy sanction which could affect his career and Chelsea. The club and the player are currently waiting, without further comments.
