Mykhailo Mudryk, a Chelsea winger, faces a potential four-year ban from football after reportedly failing a drugs test. The FA is awaiting the results of the B-sample, but the initial A-sample showed a positive result for Meldonium, a banned substance. Mudryk insists he has never knowingly used any banned substances and is working with his team to investigate the incident.
Chelsea star Mykhailo Mudryk has been provisionally suspended from football and reportedly could face a FOUR-YEAR ban after allegedly failing a drugs test . The winger, who could end up costing the Blues £88.5m, provided a positive result with an A-sample in late October. The FA are now awaiting the result of the B-sample, which will confirm the original test if it also comes back positive.
It is claimed the banned substance is Meldonium, a drug that can apparently allow the body to “use oxygen sparingly and quickly restore energy to prepare for new loads of physical stress.” Meldonium is widely used in Eastern Europe and has been on the World Anti-Doping Agency’s banned list since 2016. The 23-year-old has already been provisionally suspended by the FA after they were made aware of his initial A-sample failure. And Mudryk released a statement on Tuesday morning insisting he has never 'knowingly used any banned substance.' He said: “I can confirm that I have been notified that a sample I provided to The FA contained a banned substance”.Sky Sports legend Kamara set for shock commentary comeback reuniting with Jeff “This has come as a complete shock as I have NEVER knowingly used any banned substances or broken any rules, and am working closely with my team to investigate how this could have happened”. “I know that I have not done anything wrong and remain hopeful that I will be back on the pitch soon”.He has also not been in a match-day squad since the 3-0 win over Aston Villa in the Premier League on December 1.SunSport has reached out to both Chelsea and Mudryk’s agent for comment. Two decades ago, the Blues saw Romanian striker Adrian Mutu banned from football for seven months in September 2004 after he tested positive for cocaine. Mutu’s deal was terminated for breach of contract and Chelsea were eventually awarded £14m in compensation by the Court of Arbitration for Spor
