"Mykhailo Mudryk has taken his fight against a Football Association drugs ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after an adverse finding in a routine urine test."
"Mudryk described his 'complete shock' and stated he had 'never knowingly used any banned substances or broken any rules' when his provisional suspension began."
"The BBC understands Mudryk came into contact with the cardiovascular medication meldonium, which can increase respiratory capacity and stamina, while on duty with the Ukraine national team."
"Mudryk is being represented by Morgan Sports Law, the firm that worked with former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba during his doping case."
Mykhailo Mudryk, a Chelsea winger, has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport against a Football Association drugs ban stemming from a urine test in December 2024. He has been suspended for nearly 18 months and has not played since November 2024. The FA charged him in June 2025 but has not clarified his ban status. Mudryk reportedly encountered the banned substance meldonium while with the Ukraine national team. He aims to return to football this year while training at Uxbridge FC.
