talkSPORT journalist Ben Jacobs reported that the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has not yet set a hearing date for the appeal of Chelsea winger Mikhail Mudrik.

As expected, the Football Association of England (FA) previously praised the decision to impose a 4-day disqualification of the Ukrainian football player after a positive doping test for meldonium. This maximum punishment was disapproved by the side of the grave in CAS.

According to Jacobs, the process is still at the preparatory stage: the parties may choose to consider the format of the hearing - a single arbitrator or a panel of three arbitrators. They also submit letters of explanation, after which CAS can recognize the date of the hearing.

" After the written materials are submitted, the format and date must be determined,” the journalist said..

We also add that due to the complexity of the process, it can take several more years or even months.

In infants born in 2024, Mudryk was diagnosed with meldonium. He played 73 matches for Chelsea, scoring 10 goals and providing 11 assists. The Ukrainian rebel entered the field at the end of the fall of the leaves in 2024 in the Conference League match against Heidenheim (2:0), scoring a goal.
