Provisionally suspended since September 11, Paul Pogba should receive his definitive suspension in the coming hours.
This is information that the football world is impatiently awaiting. What will be the sanction imposed on Paul Pogba for his positive test for a banned substance? On September 11, 2023, the 2018 world champion was provisionally suspended after testing positive for testosterone. The midfielder then carried out a second opinion, which also turned out to be positive.
This Thursday, Gazzetta dello Sport announces progress in this matter. According to the latest information from the Italian daily, Paul Pogba could face a two-year suspension. A lesser evil for the French international who would thus avoid the worst of the scenarios envisaged since the maximum sanction was a suspension of 4 years.
Pogba soon fixed
For his part, will Paul Pogba have room to maneuver to defend his cause? La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the Juventus player will have 20 days to reach an agreement with the prosecutor to obtain a reduction in his sentence. This agreement must subsequently be validated by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency). It is the notion of intentionality which will be taken into account and will allow Paul Pogba to obtain a reduction in his suspension.
Whatever the outcome of this series, Juventus could terminate the contract of the Frenchman, who was one of the highest paid players in the squad before his provisional suspension 2 months ago.
