In September 2023, Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba was handed a four-year ban for violating anti-doping regulations. Given the Frenchman’s age, this suspension practically signaled the end of his career. However, Pogba did not accept the decision and decided to appeal. Now, the court has delivered its verdict.
Details: According to Daily Mail journalist Sami Mokbel, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) in Lausanne has reduced the Frenchman’s suspension from four years to 18 months. This means Pogba will be able to resume training with Juventus as early as January, and by March, the "Bianconeri" can count on him returning to the field.
Reminder: Pogba's suspension followed a failed doping test on August 20, 2023, after a match against Udinese. The 31-year-old midfielder tested positive for metabolites of exogenous testosterone — products of the body processing externally applied hormones.
