While the Italian anti-doping prosecution requested a four-year suspension against Paul Pogba, Raymond Domenech was not kind to the French international.
Disaster in sight for Paul Pogba. Testing positive for testosterone at the start of the season, following Juventus Turin’s victory at Udinese last August (0-3), the 30-year-old midfielder was suspended on September 11 provisionally. And the second opinion carried out a few weeks later confirmed the presence of the incriminated substance.
This Thursday, the Italian anti-doping prosecutor’s office requested a four-year suspension against the French world champion, the maximum penalty required for this type of offense. An announcement that does not surprise Raymond Domenech, who did not walk his talk about the former Red Devil.
“Is he at the bottom of the hole? So what ? »
“It’s cheating. We can find all the explanations we want to defend him, but in the end he took it and no one forced him.”thus released the former coach of the Blues on the L’Equipe channel, and added: “Is he at the bottom of the hole? So what ? 15, 20 years ago, guys didn’t know. Today they know it. The one who takes (banned products) is either stupid or unconscious. Too many problems in his life? And he thinks that by doping things will go smoothly and that he will relaunch his career? »
Raymond Domenech then slipped a tackle on the Veille Dame. “What I find strange is that he is at a big club and he has not been taken care ofhe castigated. There had to be a follow-up. If a club is well structured, there is a minimum on this side. This is not a country club. There must be people listening. We left him in his corner without wondering how to give him hope. »
