LONDON (AP) — Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has been formally charged by England’s Football Association with doping violations, the governing body said Wednesday. Mudryk, who became one of Chelsea’s biggest signings when he arrived for $108 million in 2023, hasn’t played since it emerged in December that he was facing a doping investigation.

Mykhailo Mudryk is facing a potential ban of up to four years after the Football Association charged the Chelsea winger with a doping offence.

Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with anti-doping rule violations after a sample taken last year produced an adverse finding for a prohibited substance, England's Football Association (FA) said on Wednesday.
