Once the news of his positive test was made public, Mudramk wrote on Instagram: “It was a complete shock because I have never knowingly used prohibited substances or breaks the rules, and I work closely with my team to investigate the way it could have happened.
“I know that I did not hurt anything and that I keep the hope that I will come back to the field soon.”
The legal team of Mudramk and those of his united circle insist that he knowingly interfered with any prohibited substance, and several sources claim that he has passed an unaccompanied lie detector test while attesting.
The BBC learned that Mudryk has come into contact with the meldonium of cardiovascular drugs, which has the potential to increase respiratory capacity and endurance, while being in service with the Ukrainian national team.
When asked to check this, the Ukrainian Football Association (UAF) did not refuse, but insisted that none of their staff members were involved.
“UAF officials cannot comment on this issue, because the UAF is not part of this case,” he told BBC Sport.
“Global anti -doping energy (AMA) or the English FA has not sent any request to the UAF.
“We are in close contact with the lawyers of Mudramk and provide them with all the necessary information. We cannot comment more, because a non -disclosing provision is in force.
“No officials, staff, doctor or UAF coach have been involved.”
The president of the UAF and former striker of Chelsea Andriy Shevchenko visited him at any time, although he also maintains a residence in London.
We do not know exactly how Mudryk apparently ingested the medonium, which has been prohibited by AMA since 2016 and is mainly used in Eastern European countries to treat conditions such as angina, heart failure and coronary disease.
Tests at the 2015 European Games in Baku revealed that 13 medalists took the substance at the time and that its use occurred in the majority of sports included in the Games.
Wimbledon champion Maria Sharapova failed a drug test in March 2016 after the medonium was detected in her sample.
