🚨Two years off doping ban! €70m star can play again | OneFootball

Actually, Mykhailo Mudryk was supposed to be banned from playing professional football until December 2028. Actually.

As the English FA announced today after consulting with the international anti-doping agency WADA, Mudryk has been acquitted with immediate effect.

The Ukrainian joined Chelsea FC from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023 for €70 million. After banned substances were detected in the 25-year-old’s blood in autumn 2024, he was handed a four-year ban.

Now, after less than two years, that ban has been lifted, as Mudryk later confirmed himself.

“After a long battle, I can finally continue my career. I’m grateful that a solution could be found that allows me to play again,” he wrote on social media.

Mudryk probably also has the CAS to thank. The international Court of Arbitration for Sport cleared the Ukrainian because, according to 'Sport1', he had officially admitted to violating the anti-doping rules and agreed to a suspension corresponding to the time he had already served.
