French national Paul Pogba has received a four-year football ban following a doping violation, as confirmed by a report from Goalltalia.
The Juventus midfielder was suspended in September 2023 after failing a drug test during the first match of the Italian Serie A season.
Reports from Corriere dello Sport and Sport Mediaset indicate that Pogba tested positive for testosterone after Juventus’ opening game against Udinese on August 20.
Facing a minimum two-year ban, Pogba risked a potential four-year suspension if it was proven that the substance found in his test was intentionally consumed.
Following investigations by the National Anti-Doping Tribunal, Pogba will serve the full four-year ban until 2028.
By the time the ban concludes, the former Manchester United player will be 34 years old, and his return to professional football remains uncertain.
