After doping was found in Mykhailo Mudryk's blood, the Chelsea team became alarmed. Everything was going smoothly for the "aristocrats," but such things throw everything off balance.

Mykhailo Mudryk provided his comment on this situation: "I am in shock. I have never intentionally taken banned substances, and I have not violated any rules. I am working with my team to find out how this could have happened."

"I know I have done nothing wrong, so I hope to return to the pitch soon."

Chelsea coach Enzo Maresca, meanwhile, said: "We all support Misha. The situation is somewhat clearer now. An official statement came from the club, which said what needed to be said. There is nothing more to add."

"All the players support and believe in Misha. We believe that Mudryk is innocent, and he will definitely return.”

It is suspected that M. Mudryk used meldonium, which is widely associated with the Russian doping scandal. It has been on the prohibited substances list since 2016.
