After provisionally suspending Mykhailo Mudryk in December for a failed drugs test, the English Football Association (FA) has now charged the Chelsea winger for violating its anti-doping regulations.

Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk is facing up to a four-year ban after being charged by the Football Association with doping offences.

LONDON — 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.
