Mudryk passed a positive test for doping: what is known and what the consequences may be

Mykhailo faces a long-term disqualification.

On the night of December 17, it became known that the football player of London “Chelsea” and the national team of Ukraine Mykhailo Mudryk passed a positive doping test.

According to Tribuna.com, at the end of October, the 23-year-old midfielder was subjected to a doping test, in which a banned substance was found in the “A” sample.

As TaToTake reports, citing its own sources, there is a high probability that this drug is meldonium (mildronate), which has been banned by WADA since January 1, 2016.

The Athletic also writes that meldonium was found in Mudryk's body. Moreover, it is claimed that Mykhailo passed a positive doping test after the match for the national team of Ukraine in November.

Sample “B” is expected to be opened in the coming days. After that, it will become clear whether Mudryk faces disqualification and, if so, for how long.
