ROME — Italy’s sports prosecutors have requested a 4-year ban for Juventus (JUVE.MI) midfielder Paul Pogba over doping allegations, sports newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport and other Italian media reported yesterday. Pogba was suspended in September after a test by Italy’s national anti-doping organisation detected testosterone, a hormone that increases athletes’ endurance, after Juve’s 3-0 Serie A season-opening victory at Udinese on August 20. His positive doping test was confirmed in a counter-analysis on a second sample in October. — Reuters.
