Ukrainian winger Mykhailo Mudryk may not only face a suspension of up to four years but could also become the subject of a lawsuit from his club. This was stated in an interview with The i Paper by sports lawyer Simon Leaf.
Mykhailo Mudryk— If Mudrik is found guilty of doping, “Chelsea” will not only have the right to terminate his contract for gross misconduct, but may also file a lawsuit against him for damages amounting to millions of pounds. A similar situation has occurred with Adrian Mutu, so it is not excluded.
However, lawsuits against players are always an undesirable option for the club, especially when it comes to reputation and attracting new footballers. Therefore, I expect “Chelsea” to act very cautiously in Mudrik’s case,” the lawyer explained.
