Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is in hot water after testing positive for testosterone following his team’s clash with Udinese in Serie A. According to reports from Italy’s Corriere della Sera, the anti-doping test results raised concerns about the presence of the banned substance in Pogba’s system.
This revelation has put Pogba’s career in jeopardy, as he now has a mere three days to respond to these serious allegations.
Anti-doping tests are standard practice in Europe’s top football leagues, and Pogba’s test came after recent appearances against Bologna and Empoli. To clear his name, Pogba must undergo a counter-analysis of the test results.
If found guilty, he could face a suspension of two to four years, which would be a significant blow to the 30-year-old midfielder’s career.
This latest development adds to Pogba’s recent struggles, including reports of an extortion plot against him and his brother, Mathias, leading him to consider retirement.
Additionally, his fitness issues have limited his appearances for Juventus since his return from Manchester United in 2022.
As Pogba’s fate hangs in the balance, football fans anxiously await the outcome of this doping scandal. The former Manchester United midfielder has three days in which to respond to the charge, and must produce a counter-analysis of the result.
