Chelsea Mykhailo Mudramk winger was accused by the football association with anti -doping violations.
Mudryk was provisionally suspended by the FA in December 2024 after failing a drug test.
The positive test concerned the medonium of prohibited substance which was administered abroad when Mudramk was not in the Chelsea service. Mudryk had played for Ukraine in Albania and Georgia in November 2024.
A FA spokesperson said: “We can confirm that Mykhailo Mudryk has been accused of anti-doping rules alleging the presence and / or use of a prohibited substance, in terms of regulations 3 and 4 of the FA anti-doping regulations. As is a case in progress, we are not able to comment at that time.”
Mudryk faces a potential ban of up to four years under FA rules.
In a statement last December, Mudryk said that his failed drug screening test was “a complete shock” and said that he had “done nothing wrong”.
Chelsea launched his own investigation and said the 23 -year -old insisted that he “had never knowingly used prohibited substances”.
Mudryk thinks that his sample was contaminated, without having changed anything in his diet since he had a British anti -doping test in August.
Mudryk was not allowed to train in Cobham and rather participated in an individual fitness program at home. He went to the final of the conference league in Poland personally, and although he was photographed carrying a Chelsea bodywarmer, he was not part of the travel party.
Ukraine International, Signed by Shakhtar Donetsk for 88.5 million pounds Sterling in January 2023, played for the last time for Chelsea during a 2-0 victory to the German team Heidenheim in the conference league on November 28.
AF rules dictate that an actor is informed of a positive test and temporarily suspended before a decision is officially taken care of.
Sky Sports News contacted Chelsea to comment.
“Mudryk faces a legal process to clear the name”
Sky Sports News chief journalist Kaveh Solhekol:
“As Mudryk was temporarily suspended, he was devastated. He feels that he has done absolutely nothing wrong.
“We know that he underwent a drug screening test in August 2024, which he succeeded, and we were led to believe that his regime did not change at all between August and November.
“He supports in private that he has never taken any substance improving performance. I have to believe that he thinks that his samples may have been contaminated.
“He uses the same law firm as Paul Pogba used when he was accused of an anti -doping violation when he was in Juventus.
“Mudryk is completely convinced that once the legal process has been held, it will ultimately be authorized.
“The worst case, he faces a four -year ban, which means that he could no longer play football before at least 2029. We have seen other cases where players have been banned for six months, a year, 18 months, two years.
“We have also seen frequently when the players were found guilty of an anti -doping violation, they went to the court of arbitration for sport, and they had this prohibition overturned or it was lowered from two years to a year. It will be a long legal process.
“Chelsea’s position, when it was temporarily suspended, was that they would do everything by the letter of the law. At the same time, they would take care of Mudryk as much as they could because he is still an employee of the club and that had a devastating impact on him. They contacted him to ensure that he is good.
“Chelsea was prepared for this possibility. Last season, they lent Jadon Sancho de Manchester United, who played in Mudramk’s position.
“Addressing Enzo Maresca at his press conference in the United States on Sunday, he said they would certainly sign a winger this summer because Sancho is gone and Mudramk is not available at the moment.”
