Chelsea outcast Mykhailo Mudryk trains at non-league club as $100m star's provisional doping ban continues

Could be set to return Mudryk could be set to return to the pitch after clearing his suspension, according to Topskills Sports UK.

Impact Mudryk is rumored to have cleared his suspension due to doping and could be set to return to team training with Chelsea before potentially moving to Strasbourg on loan, according to reports. The Ukrainian still has to build his fitness back, although he was spotted during his suspension working hard, with ambitions of becoming a sprinter for his country. That idea might now be behind him if the reports are true, and his situation will have to be monitored closely since he was one of the best young prospects in Europe before his suspension.

Could swap sports Mudryk could swap sports following his long-term suspension under the FA's Anti-Doping Regulations, as he has reportedly been training to become a sprinter and compete for Ukraine...

Impact Mudryk set speed records in the Premier League when he was clocked at 36.67 km/h in his first game with Chelsea and is reportedly considering a career change to become a sprinter and represent Ukraine at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. This switch comes into consideration because the forward was suspended under the FA's Anti-Doping Regulations in April 2025, forcing him to the sidelines since then. That said, the Ukrainian remains under contract with Chelsea for the time being, making his potential reconversion unusual.

Impact Mudryk has been suspended for the past season as he faced accusations of a failed urine test in December. However, a final verdict has come forth, with the attacker facing a further suspension after he was found guilty. He has stayed true to his claim of "never knowingly" taking any substances and even passed a polygraph, although this did not alter his results. He will now face up to a maximum of a four-year suspension, with the lower end being anywhere from two years to a month, depending on the ruling. The winger will likely continue to try to fight the ruling, but he probably won't be seeing the field with Chelsea for a while based on the recent update.

Passes polygraph Mudryk (suspension) has passed a polygraph test regarding the doping ban handed to him in November, according to Shakhtar CEO Sergei Palkin, per Ben Jacobs of Givemesport.

Impact Mudryk is seeing a positive update, although it is unknown if it will allow him to return any sooner, as he has passed a polygraph test questioning him if he had taken the banned substance or not. This comes after the attacker backs the same statement that he did not knowingly take anything, with the player still fighting to clear his name. We will now have to wait to see how this affects his ban, hoping his appeal can either lower it or eradicate the suspension, as if not, he could be banned for a while.
