KYIV, Ukraine – Dynamo Kyiv striker Artem Besedin is facing a doping charge from UEFA, the Ukrainian club said on Friday.

The club said it was informed on Thursday that Besedin was accused of breaking anti-doping regulations. UEFA hasn’t commented publicly on the case and Dynamo didn’t say what exactly Besedin was accused of.

“All of the nuances and circumstances are being clarified,” the club said. “Therefore, and in keeping with the requirement for confidentiality, FC Dynamo Kyiv cannot provide the football community with more detailed information until the relevant procedures are complete.”
