Paul Pogba banned for four years for doping

Paul Pogba has been banned from football for four years for a doping offence.

The France and Juventus midfielder was provisionally suspended in September after testing positive for testosterone. Pogba won the World Cup with France in 2018, two years after he became the most expensive footballer in the world when Manchester United signed him for a record £89m.

Pogba, who will turn 31 in March, was an unused substitute for Juventus in a Serie A game against Udinese on 20 August when he tested positive for testosterone – a banned substance.

maximum punishment available to them, was granted. Pogba is now expected to appeal the their decision at sport’s highest court, the Court of Arbitration for Sport, in Switzerland, but a four-year ban could potentially spell the end of his career at the top level.

More to come ………..
