It is nearly three months since Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk confirmed he had failed a doping test, telling us in a statement he had ‘never knowingly used any banned substances’ and that he is ‘working closely with my team to investigate how this could have happened’.
There has only been silence since and with that void comes misinformation.
Quotes from Mudryk were shared on social media last week, for example, including by one Chelsea fan account on X boasting more than a million followers. Yet I'm told by the 24-year-old Ukrainian’s team that their client has not said a word.
