Mykhailo Mudryk has taken a lie detector test to prove his innocence amid a doping ban, Shakhtar Donetsk chiefs have claimed.
The 24-year-old Chelsea winger has been temporarily banned from football after it was confirmed he tested positive for the banned substance meldonium.
He has denied any wrongdoing and has pledged to prove his innocence, but has not played for Chelsea since November.
Mudryk appeared to say he แทงบอล UFABET ราคาดีที่สุด ไม่มีขั้นต่ำ missed being part of the team over the weekend, with a cryptic comment on a Chelsea post as he awaited the results of his ‘B’ sample and whether it would confirm the findings of his ‘A’ sample.
But even though his former protégé did not play, Shakhtar’s general manager Sergei Palkin claims the player will do everything possible to prove his innocence, including taking a lie detector test.
“I’ve had several conversations with Mudryk since the doping issue came up,” Palkin said.
“He doesn’t understand how that happened. He’s no clues. He has no idea.”
“His lawyer arranged for him to take a lie detector test, and he passed. It will be part of the evidence that shows he did nothing wrong intentionally,”
“Mudryk has made it clear that it was not his fault that he tested positive. Now we have to find out how it happened and who did it. His lawyers are trying to find answers.”
“There are no results from sample B yet, so it’s still open. No one knows what happened. I wish Mudryk the best of luck. He’s a great professional and a great guy. He should be protected.”
“Shakhtar also has conflicts of interest. There is a bonus for moving to Chelsea that is linked to his performances. If he doesn’t play, it will cause problems for us because he could miss out on 30 million euros. So Shakhtar, Chelsea and Mudryk, we are in the same boat.”
“We all support Mudryk and hope he will be allowed to play football soon,”
