Paul Pogba Given 4-Year Ban from Football for Doping

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.

A spokesman of his club Juventus  told AFP it had been notified of the decision against the 30-year-old World Cup winner, who had been provisionally suspended in September.

Italy’s anti-doping body, however, did not immediately respond when contacted by AFP.

Anti-doping prosecutors had called for the four-year ban to be imposed on the former Manchester United midfielder, who tested positive following Juventus’s opening match of the Italian Serie A season against Udinese on August 20, during which he was an unused substitute.

A month later, a B sample confirmed the presence of testosterone, and he has been provisionally suspended since.

Pogba’s representatives in their defence, said the testosterone came from a food supplement prescribed by a doctor he consulted in the United States.
