Chelsea’s Mykhailo Mudryk is back on the pitch after a doping ban was resolved — a rare case where updated WADA rules mean his original meldonium violation wouldn’t even be penalized today. The Ukrainian winger, sidelined since November 2024, is now cleared to rejoin the squad. This isn’t the first time top English footballers have faced suspensions: Eric Cantona bounced back from a nine-month ban with 19 goals and a league/cup double; Paolo Di Canio served 11 games for shoving a ref; Adrian Mutu missed 9 months for cocaine; Rio Ferdinand sat out 8 for missing a test. More recently, Sandro Tonali (10 months) and Ivan Toney (8 months) returned after betting bans — proving that comebacks are possible in football, even after major setbacks.
