We want to know details of Mykhailo Mudryk’s doping case, not his shooting drills | OneFootball

Mykhailo Mudryk is training while he awaits details about his ban from football, but a piece about what he’s doing still gives no detail.

We’re usually pretty excited when Liam Twomey drops a new piece for the Athletic. He’s one of their Chelsea specialists, with good contacts at the club.

So when we saw he had written something about Mykhailo Mudryk we were excited. But reading it we were a little disappointed.

Mudryk working hard – but mystery still dominates his future

Twomey went down to Uxbridge FC’s Honeycroft ground to watch Mudryk train. The Chelsea winger is 18 months into his ban after failing a doping test. The piece dutifully describes the different exercises that Mudryk went through with two coaches.

There is so much we want to know about Mudryk – but the details of his shooting drills aren’t really top of the list. It’s not even clear how long his ban will be, whether the time served already will count towards that, whether there can be some sort of reduction by appeal. The FA only charged him in June 2025, 10 months after he was last allowed to play.

Everything in this case seems to take a very long time, and be lacking in any detail or clarity. This 1000+ words does little to change that. It’s not Twomey’s fault of course – he’s in the dark with the rest of us. But at some point, we’re going to ned to know more.

In other news…

Liam Rosenior faces a tough press conference tomorrow, with his players’ international break comments adding to the list of difficult questions he’s going to come up against in the Port Vale preview.

We can all understand Enzo Fernandez’s frustrations – but that doesn’t mean his comments this week were acceptable.
