Overview

• Multiple outlets citing Marca report that Mudryk is training with former Olympians and targeting the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics as a sprinter for Ukraine.
• Chelsea previously confirmed an FA charge alleging the presence and use of a prohibited substance under Regulations 3 and 4 after a positive test for meldonium.
• A claim from Marca that Chelsea terminated Mudryk's contract is reported elsewhere as unconfirmed and at odds with British coverage.
• Head coach Enzo Maresca said he has not spoken to Mudryk recently and described him as a Chelsea player until informed otherwise.
• Reports point to Mudryk's recorded top speeds of around 36.6 km/h as rationale for a potential switch, while Olympic entry would still require meeting World Athletics standards and passing Ukraine's trials.
