Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has been cleared to return to play after the Football Association and the World Anti-Doping Agency resolved his doping ban appeal (nst.com.my). The decision allows Mudryk to resume his career following a failed doping test. The resolution marks the end of a legal process that had kept the player sidelined.
The case involved a failed test, which led to a ban that Mudryk contested. The FA and WADA reviewed the appeal and determined that the ban should be lifted. This decision comes as the club faces separate disciplinary action from the Football Association.
On Friday, Chelsea was fined £10 million ($13.4 million) and given a suspended two-window transfer ban for breaching agent rules (arabnews.pk). The club had initially faced a six-point deduction, but that was replaced by the transfer ban. The sanctions followed an appeal hearing into multiple rule violations.
The club admitted to 74 breaches of FA regulations, including issues related to agents and intermediaries. These violations led to the initial sanctions, which were later adjusted. The transfer ban remains in place but is suspended, pending further compliance.
