After his positive test for testosterone, Paul Pogba could see his salary suspended by Juve and even his contract be terminated.

While his return to the field at the start of the season was rather encouraging, Paul Pogba is going through another hard blow. As revealed this Monday by the various Italian media, the French international would have tested positive for testosterone on August 20 against Udinese, even though he had not even taken part in the match.

Juve will investigate

Provisionally suspended by the National Anti-Doping Tribunal, the 2018 world champion is at great risk and could be suspended for a period of two to four years. This Tuesday, the Gazzetta dello Sport, which also devotes its front page to the 30-year-old player, explains that the Juventus Turin wants to carry out an internal investigation to find out what is going on, and she would be rather confident on her part and ensuring that she has not broken the rules to encourage the return of her player.

Pogba fired?

This investigation could well seal the end of the adventure of The deck with the Bianconeri. The pink paper newspaper specifies that a club has the right to suspend a player’s salary (€10M/year for Pogba) in the event of voluntary doping, and can even request the termination of his contract. The career of the French midfielder is taking an increasingly sad turn.
