Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba tests positive for doping

Paul Pogba has barely played due to recurring injuries

According to reports, Paul Pogba tested guilty for doping. After Juventus' opening match of the new season, according to Corriere Della Serra, Pogba's system had evidence of testosterone.

The 30-year-old former Manchester United midfielder didn't play in his team's 3-0 victory last month. The hormone testosterone, which can boost the size of muscles, is present in many over-the-counter medications available at clinics.

Pogba could be suspended for up to two years if he is found culpable of doping. Additionally, a ban of up to four years can be imposed if a tribunal determines that he willfully consumed the product.

At the Dacia Stadium in Udine on August 20, the Serie A game ended 3-0, although Pogba sat the entire time.

In the following two games against Bologna and Empoli, he did enter as a replacement for a few seconds.

Despite this, Pogba was nonetheless chosen at random to submit to a doping test, and it has been claimed that his testosterone levels were high.

Before it can be claimed that he failed the doping test, an additional sample has to be examined.

Since his return to Juventus as a free agent from Manchester United this past summer, Pogba has had a terrible time there, seldom playing because of a string of injury issues.

After his deal with United concluded in July of last year, Pogba moved to Juventus on an undisclosed transfer.

The 30-year-old, who paid £89 million to join United in 2016, missed the World Cup after needing knee surgery and missed a significant portion of the season.

Pogba eventually made his second Juve debut at the conclusion of February but was then dismissed from the squad the next day after failing to show up on time for the group dinner.
