Fans accuse Mudryk's alleged girlfriend of spiking him with doping
Chelsea winger Mykhailo Mudryk is going through a challenging period 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 been suspected of being in a relationship for some time, though neither has publicly addressed these rumors. Now, the gossip has taken a darker turn.
Since Mudryk denies knowingly consuming banned substances, fans have speculated on how the doping substance could have entered his system. Meldonium is a substance that previously led to scandals involving several Russian athletes, including tennis star Maria Sharapova.
Given Grachyova's Russian nationality and the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia, some fans theorized that she might have sabotaged Mudryk by slipping meldonium into his food or drink, potentially ruining his career.
Grachyova has not responded to the controversy surrounding Mudryk. Instead, she continues to share glamorous photos from her vacation in Dubai on social media.
