Former journalist Ihor Burbas added to his information from two weeks ago regarding the positive doping test of Chelsea winger and Ukraine national team player Mykhailo Mudryk. It was reported that the midfielder had stem cells taken from a cow injected into his knee while in the Ukraine national team camp, which could have contained meldonium.
“This version is now being used as the basis for the defense line that is currently being constructed by Mykhailo Mudryk's entourage. If you clarify this information and decode it by adding other facts to this situation, it turns out that there was not just one injection, but a series of injections. All were in the national team.
There is a drug called Actovegin. Its base is a substance taken from calves, young cows. I’ve been speaking over these two weeks between our releases with specialists and people from medicine, there’s a statement that when raising these calves, they are often given meldonium for faster growth. They are fed so that they do not get sick and develop faster.
Therefore, this version is the main one in the defense. No one doubts that this substance entered Mykhailo Mudryk’s body by accident. It was not a conscious act,” said Burbas.
