Chelsea Ace Mykhailo Mudryk Eyes 2028 Olympics After Doping Ban Threatens Football Career

Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk is reportedly weighing a shock move to the 2028 Olympics after a doping ban put his football career in jeopardy.

The 24-year-old has been effectively frozen out of football since December 2024 with The FA confirmed on June 18, 2025, that Mudryk had been charged under anti-doping rules.

According to Spanish outlet Marca, he is now considering a change of sport as his future as a footballer hangs in the balance.

Mudryk, who clocked a staggering 36.67 km/h in his Premier League debut, is now eyeing a spot at the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.

He has already started to work with the Ukrainian sprint team, with coaches believing his pace on the football pitch could translate to success on the running track.
