The London nightmare seems to never end for Mykhaïlo Mudryk. Limited playing time with only 15 matches in all competitions and unconvincing performances, the Ukrainian striker finds himself in another delicate situation. The Daily Mail revealed yesterday that he had tested positive in a doping test in August and was awaiting the results of his B sample. The player is currently suspended by the English Federation and has spoken out. “This came as a complete shock as I have never knowingly used any banned substances or broken any rules, and I am working closely with my team to investigate how this could have happened.” He made a big decision to defend himself.
The same lawyer as Pogba
Testing positive for meldonium, a drug from Eastern countries which is used against tonsillitis and the cause of the suspension of tennis player Maria Sharapova in 2016, the former Shakhtar Donetsk star does not intend to stop there. After the statement of support from his club, Chelsea, the 23-year-old approached a law firm specializing in doping cases. This is the same one who defended Paul Pogba, who tested positive for testosterone in 2023 and allowed him to reduce his sanction from 4 years to 18 months. A strong choice to try to get out of this scandal and avoid the same initial penalty addressed to the French midfielder.
