Mikel Obi speaks about being offered drugs
Following Mudryk’s situation, Mikel has also recounted many occasions where he was offered drugs by friends.

Speaking on Obi One podcast, he said, “People around will offer you stuff－friends, friends of friends－they will tell you that this will give you this or it will give you one or two more percent in your performances, and I’m like what is this? Is this legal?
“I tell them to go away, I don’t want to talk about it. We have to take responsibility for our actions and what we eat.”

He claimed that during his tenure at Chelsea, friends and coworkers offered him uncommon performance-enhancing drugs, but he declined.
Mudryk will be looking to clear his name from the doping case levelled against him, but if found guilty, he would see a massive decline in his career trajectory.
