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

The 24-year-old previously denied wrongdoing, while his club said he had "never knowingly used any banned substances".

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.
