Mudryk entrusted his comment to Instagram: “I can confirm that I have been informed that a sample provided to the FA contained a banned substance. It was a total shock, because I have never knowingly used banned substances or broken any rules and I am working closely contact my team to investigate how this could have happened. I know I have done nothing wrong and I continue to hope to return to the field soon possible,” he wrote.
