"Mudryk was not training with Uxbridge but had simply hired their 3G surface along with his privately-funded coaching team. Uxbridge's Honeycroft ground is around a 40-minute commute from where Mudryk lives and has been booked directly by his representatives. The report notes that Chelsea have not organised the solo training sessions and could not under the terms of Mudryk's FA charge, which sees him banned from training for the club as well as playing."
"Mudryk was provisionally suspended by the Football Association in December 2024 after a urine sample tested positive for the banned substance meldonium while on international duty with Ukraine. The player has denied any wrongdoing and hired Morgan Sports Law to defend him - they also represented Paul Pogba during his own doping ban. If found guilty, the Chelsea player could be handed a suspension from training and playing of up to four years."
"I know that I have not done anything wrong and remain hopeful that I will be back on the pitch soon. I cannot say any more now due to the confidentiality of the process, but I will as soon as I can."
Mykhailo Mudryk, Chelsea's Ukrainian winger, remains suspended from football after being charged with a doping offence by the Football Association. He tested positive for the banned substance meldonium during international duty with Ukraine in December 2024. Mudryk has not played since November 2024 and is banned from both training with Chelsea and competing. Recently, he was photographed training at Uxbridge FC's facility, which he privately hired along with his personal coaching team rather than through Chelsea's organization. The club cannot facilitate his training under FA regulations. Mudryk has denied wrongdoing and engaged Morgan Sports Law for his defence. If convicted, he faces a potential four-year suspension, though provisional ban time already counts toward any final sentence.
