Mykhailo Mudryk could face four-year ban after FA charge over failed drugs test
The Ukraine international has not played since last November and was provisionally suspended while he and Chelsea waited for the results of a B sample.
An FA spokesperson said: 'We can confirm that Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with anti-doping rule violations alleging the presence and/or use of a prohibited substance, in terms of Regulations 3 and 4 of the FA's Anti-Doping Regulations. As this is an ongoing case, we are not in a position to comment further at this time.'
Chelsea declined to comment. In December the club said: 'Mykhailo has confirmed categorically that he has never knowingly used any banned substances.'

Tadej Pogacar isn't like Tour legends of old — he can't resist an attack
I spoke with Romain Bardet last week. He's 34 now and, for an 11-times Tour de France rider, he looks fresh. The years cannot take away the boyish expression. We joked that in this Tour de France he can achieve the impossible. Which is to say he can leave Tadej Pogacar for dust in the mountains. The recently retired Bardet will be on a TNT Sports motorbike. He laughs at the thought of finally having his way with Pogacar. The last time I was in the same room as Bardet the venue was a conference room in Copenhagen, two days before the start of the 2022 Tour. He was leader of the DSM team and in answer to the usual question about Pogacar, he said something about not really understanding what was happening in his own sport.

I'm looking forward to watching him play for Chelsea. Overall, a good performance by Chelsea. Bring on Starting to really come together. Liam Delap did well, Pedro Neto was great and Cole Palmer superb but I still wince every time the ball goes back to Robert Sanchez. Get Mike Maignan in and get rid of Raheem Sterling and the rest, even if we have to give them away!Nick: Chelsea looked like they were really starting to purr in the first half. The team and the style of play seems to be coming together. Patience is still required. They're still young, but their mentality seems to be right as when they get pegged back they seem to find a way forward. As for Estevao, he is going to terrorise defenders for years to Starting to see a style of play in this Chelsea team that has been absent for I am still thinking Enzo Maresca is not the right manager to lead Chelsea.

F1 next heads back to the scene of the sport's first ever race 75 years ago as Silverstone hosts the British Grand Prix and round 12 of the 2025 season.
