Mudryk has denied any wrongdoing and is eager to clear his name. His agent, Sergei Palkin, has been speaking out in support of the player. Palkin believes that Mudryk did not knowingly take the substance and is now working to find out how it ended up in his system.

Palkin stated that Mudryk has been cooperative and has no idea how the substance got into his body. He also mentioned that the player's lawyers are investigating the matter further to determine who might be responsible. The B-sample results are still pending, which means the situation remains unclear.

Mudryk's situation is not only affecting him personally, but also his club, Shakhtar Donetsk, and his new team, Chelsea. Shakhtar could potentially lose millions of euros due to Mudryk's absence from the field. Palkin expressed his support for Mudryk and hopes that he will be able to continue playing football soon.

Mudryk's last appearance was in November when he scored a goal in a Conference League match against Heidenheim. The outcome of the doping case is still uncertain, and Mudryk's future in football hangs in the balance.
