Paul Pogba Served Four Year Ban For Doping!
Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba faces a four-year football ban due to testing positive for a banned substance, specifically testosterone. The suspension began on September 11, 2023, following an investigation into the incident.
Pogba, who turns 31 in March, claimed accidental ingestion but saw his plea rejected. This hefty suspension, including the time served since September, means he won't be eligible to return until September 2027.
The French player was subjected to a random doping test after the season's first game, which he didn't play. Following the tests, Pogba made two subsequent substitute appearances before the suspension was enforced upon confirmation of the positive results.
Juventus have aware of the court's decision. The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner is under contract with the club until 2026, hence it has to be seen if the Frenchman's contract is mutually terminated now that the decision is out.
Pogba's career is significantly impacted by this lengthy ban, raising questions about his future in professional football. Will the Frenchman announce his retirement owing to the lengthy ban? Let me know your thoughts...
