Chelsea star Mikhaelo Modric is one of the longest suspension in football history after being accused by the English Football Association of doping.
The English Football Association arrested Modric after its failure to pass the doping test last December, and the result was positive for the banned Mildonium, which was given to him abroad when the Ukrainian wing was not on a mission with Chelsea.
According to a new report, Modric may stop for up to 4 years after submitting a positive “A” sample, and according to the newspaper “Telegraph”, he was temporarily stopped while he and Chelsea are waiting for the results of the sample “B”, after the English Football Association now confirmed that he was accused.
“We confirm that Mikhalao Modrick is accused of violating the anti -doping rules, allegedly by the presence or use of a banned material, according to the 3 and 4 regulations of the Anti -Doping Regulations for the English Federation. And since this issue is still in view, we are not in a position that allows us to comment more at the present time,” said a spokesman for the English Federation of Sportbible.
Modrick denied his intention to violate any rules, expressing his shock from the result of the positive steroid test, and in a statement published on Instagram, the 24 -year -old said, “I confirm that I received a notification that the sample that I submitted to the English Federation contains a banned material, this was a great shock, because I did not use any banned material or violated any rules intentionally, and I work closely with My team to investigate how this happens. “
“I know that I have not made any mistake, and I am still optimistic about my return to the stadiums soon. I cannot disclose more now due to the confidentiality of the procedures, but I will do it as soon as possible.”
Modric joined Chelsea from Shakhtar Donetsk in a deal worth more than $ 118 million.
His performance has not impressed everyone since he moved to Stamford Bridge in January 2023, where he scored 10 goals in 73 games in all competitions.
