Mykhailo Mudryk: Chelsea winger to appeal against four-year ban for doping offence to Court of Arbitration for Sport

Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk is appealing to the Court of Arbitration for Sport after he was given a four-year ban by the Football Association for doping.

CAS has confirmed it received his appeal against the FA on February 25. The FA, Chelsea and the player's lawyers have not commented.

Chelsea signed Mudryk for £88m from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023 and he still has five years left on his contract.

The positive test was for the prohibited substance meldonium but Mudryk believes his sample was contaminated when he was on international duty with Ukraine in October 2024.
