Mykhailo Mudryk, the Chelsea winger, has been charged by the Football Association with anti-doping violations and faces a potential ban of up to four years. This ban duration is the maximum under FA rules, and it would mean he could be barred from playing football until at least 2029 in the worst-case scenario. The doping charge relates to a failed test for the prohibited substance meldonium, with the positive result occurring while he was on international duty. The investigation and legal process are ongoing, so the exact length of the ban will depend on the outcomes of these proceedings, which may include appeals that could reduce the ban period.
