France star Paul Pogba has been given a four-year ban from football by Italy’s anti-doping tribunal after testing positive for testosterone last August, his club Juventus said yesterday.
A spokesman for the club told AFP it had been notified of the decision against the 30-year-old World Cup winner, who had been provisionally suspended in September.
“We received notification from the tribunal this morning,” the spokesman said. Italy’s anti-doping body did not immediately respond when contacted by AFP.
A source close to Pogba confirmed to AFP that he would appeal the ruling, which risks bringing a premature end to his career.
It means Pogba will not be able to play again until the 2027/28 season, by which time he will be 34. — SuperSport.
