BREAKING NEWS:23-years-old Chelsea star could faces 4years ban after failing doping test
Mykhailo Mudyrk has reportedly failed a drug test, according to a flurry of online reports originating from Ukrainian sources.
The news was tweeted by Zorya Londonsk, a 16k-follower Twitter account, who cited the 29k-follower Ukrainian website “Tribuna.com.” A more reliable source will confirm it for us. It may be recreational or performance enhancing, as both of the aforementioned websites only discuss a prohibited substance.
The winger has apparently seen his A sample flagged and now awaits the result of the B sample. There could be severe punishment, including a ban, if he’s found guilty. The Premier League has been almost entirely clean in terms of performance-enhancing drugs, leading some to believe that they are just looking the other way most of the time.
Mudryk is known as a bit of gym rat, and puts a lot of workout related content on his social media, which is hardly a smoking gun but is an unfortunate coincidence at best.
However, Mudryk could faces 4-years ban if found positive again according to reports.

The winger has been out of the Chelsea squad since being an unused sub against Aston Villa at the start of this month. Manager Enzo Maresca has repeatedly referred to him as being “ill,” which had started to feel suspect after more than two weeks without an update.
Disaster transfer gets even worse
Mudryk has struggled since making his big money move from Shakhtar. A flash of quality on his debut has bene followed by further flashes, and there has certainly been an upwards trend this season, albeit mainly against very poor sides.
But not only does he not look like he’s worth the money we paid at the moment, he looks very doubtful to ever reach that level now.
That deal somehow becomes even worse if this news is confirmed.
