Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has been given a four-year ban after the World Cup winner tested positive for doping, reports Sky in Italy
Italy’s National Anti-Doping Tribunal accepted the request of the Anti-Doping Prosecutor’s Office to hand out the four-year ban – which is the standard length of ban under the World Anti-Doping Code.
The ban starts from when Pogba first tested positive, so the France international is banned until August 2027. He will be 34 years old when the ban stops, raising doubts over whether his career will continue after that.
In a statement from Pogba later on Thursday, he confirmed he will appeal the decision at the Court of Arbitration of Sport in Lausanne. He added he would tell his full story ‘when I am free of legal restrictions’.
