Chelsea makes sensational decision after Mudryk return
Following the resolution of his doping case, Chelsea have confirmed that winger Mykhailo Mudryk is set to rejoin the team’s pre-season tour in preparation for the new campaign.
Mykhailo Mudryk is expected to link up with Chelsea’s pre-season squad in Hong Kong on Sunday after being cleared for an immediate return to football.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) partially upheld the Ukraine international’s appeal, allowing him to resume his career after serving a suspension linked to a positive meldonium test.
The case was resolved after changes to World Anti-Doping Agency reporting standards meant the concentration of meldonium found in Mudryk’s sample would no longer constitute an anti-doping violation if tested today.
Although he accepted the original anti-doping charge and the suspension already served under the rules in force at the time, the revised framework cleared the way for his immediate return to action.
