"The 24-year-old winger was provisionally suspended in December 2024 after a urine test provided a positive result for a banned substance, and was formally charged in June. The FA investigation is ongoing and the outcome, its timing, and any potential punishment all remain unclear. There is no defined time frame for doping cases - they last as long as it takes to sift through all the evidence."
"Mudryk's legal defence is being managed by Morgan Sports Law, the firm who worked with former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba during his doping case while playing for Juventus, as well as boxer Tyson Fury and cyclist Chris Froome during their respective investigations. BBC Sport has taken an in-depth look at Mudryk's situation, talking to people in both Ukraine and London to find out where he is and what is going on."
"After news of his positive test was made public, Mudryk wrote on Instagram: "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.""
Mykhailo Mudryk was provisionally suspended in December 2024 after a urine test returned a positive result for a banned substance and was formally charged in June. The FA investigation continues with no defined timeframe; outcomes and potential punishments remain unclear. Morgan Sports Law is managing his legal defence. Mudryk has denied knowingly using banned substances and publicly stated shock and hope to return. Multiple sources say he passed an unverified lie detector test. Reports indicate Mudryk came into contact with meldonium while with the Ukraine national team; the UAF did not deny the contact but said none of their staff were involved.
