Paul Pogba has received a four-year sentence for a doping violation, and he believes the decision is inaccurate.

The ex-Manchester United midfielder, currently under contract with Italian powerhouse Juventus, was found to have elevated amounts of testosterone in his system.

His career at the top level could be jeopardized since he would be over 35 years old by the time he is permitted to return to the field.

Pogba expressed deep sorrow, astonishment, and devastation that his accomplishments in his professional playing career have been stripped away.

Once I am no longer bound by legal limitations, the complete story will be revealed. I have never intentionally or consciously consumed any supplements that breach anti-doping standards.

As a professional athlete, I have never used forbidden substances to improve my performance or mistreated fellow athletes and supporters of any teams I have been a part of or competed against.

Pogba is determined to challenge the verdict in front of the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

The Frenchman, who achieved a World Cup victory with Les Bleus in 2018, will be 31 years old next month. This implies that he might be close to 35 years old by the time he is permitted to return to playing on the field.

The test conducted following Juventus’s 3-0 season-opening win against Udinese on August 20 identified the hormone known for enhancing endurance.

Pogba’s positive test was confirmed through a second sample analysis in October, resulting in the highest potential penalty.

Juventus has not issued an official statement, but a source informed the Reuters news agency that the club has been contacted and will evaluate the following actions.

Pogba opted against entering into a plea bargain with the anti-doping agency, resulting in the case being brought before the country’s anti-doping court.

The penalty has not been disclosed because of Italy’s privacy regulations.

Since returning to Juventus from Manchester United in 2022 for a second time, he has only made eight appearances due to injury.

Pogba received praise for his performances in the Italian league and European competition during his initial tenure at Juventus from 2012 to 2016.

He has performed exceptionally well in most of his 91 matches for France, especially during the nation’s 2018 World Cup run.

Pogba’s return to United, after initially starting his career there as a junior player and then leaving to Juventus, is often seen as disappointing.

Pogba was signed for a record fee over £80m. He displayed inconsistency while playing for a disorganized United team that faced challenges in the years following Alex Ferguson’s departure.
