Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has been formally charged by England’s Football Association with doping violations, the governing body said Wednesday.

(Reuters) -Chelsea forward Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with anti-doping rule violations after a sample taken last year produced an adverse finding for a prohibited substance, England's Football Association (FA) said on Wednesday.

Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk has been charged with a violation of the Football Association (FA)’s anti-doping rules and is facing a lengthy ban from football. The Ukraine international, 24, was provisionally suspended after returning an “adverse finding in a routine urine test” in December and has not featured for the club since.
