CAS has confirmed it received his appeal on February 25.

Chelsea signed Mudryk for £88m from Shakhtar Donetsk in January 2023 and he still has five years left on his contract.

The positive test was for the prohibited substance meldonium but Mudryk believes his sample was contaminated when he was on international duty with Ukraine in October 2024.

Mudryk was provisionally suspended by the FA in December 2024 after failing a drugs test.

In a statement the same month, Mudryk said his failed drug test was “a complete shock” and said he had “not done anything wrong”.
