Chelsea's Mykhailo Mudryk is under FA investigation for an adverse urine test. The club and player support the testing program and deny any wrongdoing.
LONDON (Reuters) - Chelsea have confirmed that forward Mykhailo Mudryk has been contacted by the Football Association after an adverse finding in a routine urine test.
The Premier League club issued a brief statement on Tuesday confirming an investigation into the Ukraine international.
"Both the Club and Mykhailo fully support The FA's testing programme and all our players, including Mykhailo, are regularly tested," the statement said.
"Mykhailo has confirmed categorically that he has never knowingly used any banned substances. Both Mykhailo and the Club will now work with the relevant authorities to establish what has caused the adverse finding."
Mudryk, who joined Chelsea in January 2023, has struggled for first-team opportunities this season and has largely been used as a substitute.
