Overview
- The English FA issued a four-year doping suspension to Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk.
- Mudryk has appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which says it received his complaint on February 25, 2026 and has not set a hearing.
- The case began with a provisional suspension in December 2024 after an adverse test that a B-sample confirmed, followed by an FA charge in June 2025.
- Reports say a sample taken during Ukraine duty in October 2024 flagged meldonium, a banned heart drug linked to endurance gains.
- Chelsea is considering ending his contract that runs to 2031, while he has been renting Uxbridge FC’s pitch to stay fit after losing his squad number.
