Chelsea star Mykhaylo Mudryk free to make immediate return as FA ‘resolve appeal proceedings’ | OneFootball

Chelsea winger Mykhaylo Mudryk is now free to return to football immediately after the English FA resolved the anti-doping disciplinary proceedings against the Ukrainian in agreement with the World Anti-Doping Agency.

Mudryk, who returned an adverse analytical finding in an anti-doping test in October 2024, was given a four-year ban by the FA in April, which he appealed against at the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

“The FA and Mr Mudryk have now – with the agreement of WADA – resolved the appeal proceedings,” the FA said in a statement about the Chelsea winger.

“As a part of the agreement, Mr Mudryk accepted that he had committed the ADRVs (Anti-Doping Rule Violations) charged and acceded to a period of ineligibility equal to the time served at the date of the agreement.”
