Subscriber CaaC (John)+ 5,360 Posted September 11, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted September 11, 2023 Quote Paul Pogba: Juventus midfielder provisionally suspended for anti-doping offence Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has been provisionally suspended from playing because of an anti-doping offence. Italy's national anti-doping tribunal (Nado) said Pogba returned a test with elevated levels of testosterone after Juve's 3-0 win at Udinese on 20 August. France international Pogba, 30, was an unused substitute but was selected at random for post-match drug testing. If found guilty of doping, he could face a ban of between two and four years. Juventus said in a statement: "Juventus Football Club announces that today, 11 September, 2023, the footballer Paul Labile Pogba received a precautionary suspension order from the National Anti-Doping Tribunal following the results of tests carried out on 20 August, 2023. "The club reserves the right to consider the next procedural steps." Nado said Pogba had violated anti-doping rules when they found the prohibited substance "non-endogenous testosterone metabolites" and the results were "consistent with the exogenous origin of the target compounds". Testosterone is a hormone that increases the endurance of athletes. Pogba has three days to produce a counter-analysis of the result to Nado. Juventus re-signed Pogba on a four-year deal in July 2022 after the player ran down his contract at Manchester United and left as a free agent. However, Pogba's return to Turin has been beset by persistent injury problems which also saw him miss last year's World Cup in Qatar. Pogba has played a combined total of 51 minutes as a substitute this season in games with Bologna and Empoli. Last season he managed 108 minutes over six Serie A games, three brief appearances and one assist in the Europa League, and 11 minutes in the Coppa Italia - a total of 162 minutes and no goals. Pogba's injury problems resurfaced recently, with Juventus boss Massimo Allegri saying the player picked up a minor back problem following his appearance against Empoli. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66780283 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted October 6, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted October 6, 2023 What I read here wasn't about him getting the ban, its how Juventus are now going to have to find a way to not pay all the tax money they've circumvented because of how the deal was setup.

MUFC 1,503 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 Pogba banned for 2 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Gonzo 8,190 Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 35 minutes ago, MUFC said: Pogba banned for 2 years. He's basically just been in paid retirement for the past few seasons in any case. By the time this ban's over... I can't imagine any side that's serious about football would want to take a punt on him. So he's ended his career as a top player... for the second time in his career! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted November 7, 2023 Subscriber Share Posted November 7, 2023 It won't bother him in the least. When he was playing bad he wasn't bothered either so this is no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
