Chelsea winger Mikhail Mudrik Cow stem cells containing meldonium were injected into the knee.
This is how a banned substance was able to enter the Ukrainian footballer’s body, which is why he failed the doping control.
Stem cell injections are used to restore the body: there is a version that the cow, whose cells were taken for injections into the Ukrainian national team, may contain meldonium. Mudrik faces a disqualification of up to 4 years.
