Chelsea’s Mudryk to return to action after doping ban

Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk can ​return to competition immediately after ‌the English FA resolved ​the anti-doping ⁠disciplinary proceedings against the Ukrainian in agreement with the ‌World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), the governing body said ‌on Friday.

Mudryk, who ‌returned ⁠an adverse analytical ⁠finding in an anti-doping test in October 2024, was ​given a ‌four-year ban by the FA in April, which he appealed against at ‌the Court of Arbitration ​for Sport.

“The FA and Mudryk ⁠have now — with the agreement of WADA — resolved ‌the appeal proceedings,” the FA said in a statement.

“As a part of the agreement, Mudryk accepted ‌that he had committed the ​ADRVs (Anti-Doping Rule Violations) charged and acceded to ⁠a period of ineligibility ⁠equal to the time served at the ‌date of the agreement.”
