The doping scandal involving Ukrainian footballer Mykhailo Mudryk of Chelsea, representing the English Premier League, has resurfaced, and the player's situation is becoming increasingly serious.
İdman.Biz reports that, according to Reuters, the English Football Association has officially accused Mudryk of violating doping protocols, which could result in a ban of up to four years for the player.
In light of this event, several additional details about Mudryk have emerged. According to information penned by journalist Kieran Gill in the "Daily Mail", the Ukrainian footballer's last year has been marked by a "whirlwind of fake news", a doping scandal, and a personal reputation crisis. The journalist claims that Mudryk underwent a "lie detector" test to clear his name and attempted to prove that he did not intentionally take doping substances. It is reported that false news and transparency issues surrounding the footballer have further aggravated the situation.
Sources write that Mudryk's future at Chelsea has also become uncertain following these events. The club is continuing its internal investigation, and a decision on the player's possible punishment will be made after the Football Association's final opinion. According to various claims, the first signs of the doping scandal emerged after lengthy investigations, and misleading information about some of Mudryk's medical procedures has further complicated his situation.
Kieran Gill's investigation notes that the emergence of inconsistencies in Mudryk's doping test coincided with one of the most difficult periods of the footballer's career, and the information vacuum during this time led to an increase in fake news. Mudryk and his representatives claim that the footballer did not knowingly take banned substances and is trying all means to prove his innocence, including a lie detector.
