Fans accuse alleged girlfriend of Mudryk of spiking him with doping substance
Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk is going through tough times after confirmation that he failed a doping test, with meldonium detected in his sample. Fans on social media have pointed fingers at his rumored girlfriend, Russian model Violetta Grachyova.
The pair has long been suspected of being in a relationship, though neither has commented on the speculation. Now, these rumors have taken a dramatic twist.
Mudryk denies knowingly taking banned substances, leading fans to speculate on how meldonium, a drug previously linked to numerous Russian athletes, including tennis star Maria Sharapova, could have entered his system.
Given Grachyova's Russian nationality and the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, fans have floated the theory that she might have sabotaged Mudryk by spiking his food or drinks with meldonium to derail his career.
Grachyova has remained silent on the controversy surrounding Mudryk, instead continuing to post glamorous photos, most recently from her holiday in Dubai.
