CHELSEA star Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged by the English Football Association with breaching its anti-doping rules after he failed a drugs test.
The 24-year-old Ukraine international was provisionally suspended by the FA in December after an “adverse finding in a routine urine test”.
Mudryk claimed then that he was in “complete shock” and he “never knowingly used any banned substances”.
He has not played for Chelsea since November 28.
“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,” the FA said in a statement today.
“As this is an ongoing case, we are not in a position to comment further at this time.”
If found guilty, Mudryk could be banned from all football for years.
