Former Manchester United midfielder and current Juventus player, Paul Pogba, could potentially face a four-year ban from football following the confirmation of his positive drugs test by a second sample, as reported by Italian sources.
In August, Pogba initially tested positive for testosterone, leading to his provisional suspension by Juventus pending the results of a B sample.
The recent revelation of this second sample has reportedly corroborated the initial positive test, placing Pogba’s football career and future at Juventus in jeopardy.
The consequences for violating doping regulations can be severe, with a maximum suspension of up to four years.
Pogba’s positive test has raised significant questions about his continued involvement in the sport.
The French international, celebrated as a World Cup winner, rejoined Juventus after his contract with Manchester United expired in the summer of 2022.
However, his return to Italy was marred by a meniscus injury that plagued most of his season.
During this period, Pogba was only able to participate for a mere 161 minutes across 10 games, and he made just two appearances at the beginning of the new season before his provisional suspension.
Pogba’s future in football now hangs in the balance as the disciplinary process unfolds, and the sporting world watches closely to see how this situation develops.
