OREANDA-NEWS  The most expensive football player in Ukraine, Mikhail Mudrik, was caught doping. This is reported in the Telegram channel Mash.

Banned substances were found in the blood of the 23-year-old Chelsea midfielder after an unscheduled check. It is noted that the athlete faces disqualification at least until the end of the championship. Mudrik has played only seven matches in the English Premier League this season.

The Ukrainian joined Chelsea from Shakhtar in January 2023 for 70 million euros. In November 2023, fans harassed Mudrik because of a possible connection with the Russian model Violetta Gracheva. Fans noticed that similar photos appeared in the accounts of the player and the model with a difference of several hours.
