Mikel Obi Talks About Mudryk’s Failed Drug Test

Nigerian football legend Mikel Obi has shared his thoughts on Mykhailo Mudryk’s failed doping test last month.

Mudryk, who plays for Chelsea, reportedly failed a drug test and caused a lot of controversy on social media. The situation was made worse by the winger’s difficulty finding a regular place in the team.

Although the drug test results were said to be positive, Mudryk defended himself by publishing a statement about the situation.

Recounting his own experience at Chelsea, Mikel Obi talked about how players need to be careful about what they put into their bodies. On the Obi One podcast, Mikel said: “I hope Mudryk and his family are innocent. If someone offered me something while I was playing, I would ask what it was. I am responsible for what I eat and what I take. But for now, Mudryk is innocent until proven guilty.”

Mikel also shared that during his time at Chelsea, his teammates offered him performance-enhancing drugs, but he always refused.

If convicted, Mudryk could become the first Chelsea player in a long time to test positive for doping and face a ban of up to four years.
