US EditionMudryk appeals to CAS amid reports of four-year ban
- Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has officially appealed his four-year doping ban to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, filing his challenge on February 25, 2026, to overturn the Football Association's sanction.
- The FA provisionally suspended Mudryk in December 2024 after a routine test revealed meldonium in his system; while he has fervently denied intentional wrongdoing, he has not featured for Chelsea since November 2024.
- Mudryk hopes to replicate French midfielder Paul Pogba's success, whose four-year doping ban was reduced to 18 months by the CAS in 2024, potentially clearing the winger for an immediate return.
- Chelsea awaits the final verdict before deciding Mudryk's future, having recruited Alejandro Garnacho and Jamie Gittens last summer; the winger remains under contract until 2031 despite his lengthy absence.
- Valued at up to $108 million after his move from Shakhtar Donetsk, Mudryk's career remains uncertain; a loan to Strasbourg appears likely once cleared, given his record of 10 goals in 73 appearances.
