A mate has just told me the Chelsea and Mudryk have received verbal notification that the "B" sample has returned negative. He there will be no announcement from the club until they receive written notification.

I personally think my mate has picked up an old rumour but hey ho!

It would be wonderful if this rumour was true if only especially for the player himself. But it would a pretty rare example of a B sample being negative I think.

The B sample is seldom different. Also, the results of the B sample are usually known within a week of the A sample. The Mudryck story simply disappeared.

JBS, spot on and hence my doubts about it being true. I’m not sure if there is a thing as “marginal” in a drugs test but I think that is the more likely situation.

"Mudryk’s B Sample is expected back in January and, if positive, the Ukrainian could face a four-year ban"

Well January is over and still no news. Very strange.

This rumour apparently started few days ago on twitter / X and wasn’t by a journalist, someone just starting rumours, more so for MM I hope he gets back playing soon.

Strange that Mudryk is still in the Conference squad. I suppose there could be a rule that makes it pointless to take him out.

The odd normal half reliable sources have also picked this up, no idea if it is true.

But it is undeniably strange that it is taking so long, I did read an article that if is B sample was negative and the A sample was positive due to cross contamination in the testing this would open a huge can of worms and invalidate previous tests no idea if this is true

Apparently B samples that are negative are in the 3-5% range

Also strange that the story has gone so quiet.
