Mykhailo Mudryk has passed a 'lie detector test' in his bid to prove his innocence amid a doping ban, a Shakhtar Donetsk chief has claimed.

Chelsea star Mudryk, 24, is currently provisionally suspended from playing football after it was confirmed last year that he had tested positive for the banned substance Meldonium.

He has denied any wrongdoing and vowed to prove his innocence, but has not played for Chelsea since November.

Mudryk appeared to suggest he was missing being part of the team at the weekend, with a cryptic comment on one of Chelsea's posts, as he awaits the result of a 'B' sample, and whether it confirms the findings of his 'A' sample.
