Mudryk trains with non-league club amid doping ban uncertainty
2 Mar
Summary
- Mykhailo Mudryk is training at semi-professional Uxbridge FC.
- He faces potential ban after positive test for banned substance.
- The player denies wrongdoing and awaits disciplinary decision.
Mykhailo Mudryk, Chelsea's record signing, has been observed training with Uxbridge FC, a semi-professional club. This activity occurs while the Ukrainian international faces a doping charge. The 25-year-old tested positive for a banned substance in December 2025, leading to his charge by the Football Association in June 2025. Mudryk has consistently denied any wrongdoing.
He has not played for Chelsea since November 2025, with his future participation in doubt as he could face a ban of up to four years. Despite the ongoing process and a largely low profile, Mudryk shared a message on New Year's Day, thanking fans for their support and urging them to remain hopeful. The World Anti-Doping Agency is awaiting the English FA's disciplinary decision before considering an appeal.
