Chelsea’s Mudryk charged with anti-doping violations, risks 4-year ban

Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged by the Football Association (FA) with anti-doping violations.

Mudryk was provisionally suspended by the FA in December 2024 after failing a drugs test.

The positive test was for the prohibited substance meldonium which was administered abroad when the player was not on Chelsea duty.

An FA spokesperson said on Wednesday: “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.

“As this is an ongoing case, we are not in a position to comment further at this time.”

Mudryk faces a potential ban of up to four years under FA rules.

In a statement last November, the forward said his failed drugs test was “a complete shock” and said he had “not done anything wrong”.
