“Daily Mail journalist Kieran Gill – about Mykhailo Mudryk”, — write: sport.ua
The player has been suspended and the investigation, which is under the control of the FA, has dragged on and is still not complete.
If convicted, Mudryk could face a ban of up to four years, although the worst-case scenario could be appealed.
The story first surfaced after journalists learned of his disappearance from Chelsea’s applications. The club cited illness, but later confirmed that the player had been informed of a “negative doping test result”.

Mudryk himself stated that he did not understand how the prohibited substance could enter the body, and since then he has not made any public statements. It is known that he passed a voluntary lie detector test and continues to insist on his innocence.
This situation has affected the career plans of the club and the national team of Ukraine: the national team is preparing for the playoffs of the 2026 World Cup without one of the fastest and most technical players of the new generation. Chelsea were forced to strengthen their left flank with the signings of Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens.
Mudryk remains in London, trains individually and hopes to return. His Instagram turned into a silent manifesto. London sources assure that “Chelsea” believes in the football player, although they cannot formally help him now.
It is not known when the decision in the case will be made. But every day of waiting makes the player’s return to big football more tense and dramatic.
