Paul Pogba is determined to return to soccer following a ban from the sport after testing positive for a banned substance in August 2023.
The Juventus star was handed a four-year suspension in February having been provisionally suspended by Italy’s national anti-doping tribunal in September last year. Following the provisional ban, NADO Italia said that testosterone, which can be used to increase athletic endurance, was detected in the midfielder’s system after Juventus beat Udinese 3-0. Pogba was on the bench as an unused substitute. “People know me. When they saw it happened, they knew it was not on purpose.
According to Reuters, it was reduced from four years to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport earlier this month, meaning he is free to play soccer again in March 2025. “For sure that means I take responsibility that I took the supplement and I did not triple check, even though it came from a professional,” the World Cup winner said. “If I have to be punished, I am fine with it, but it should never be four years. I will accept 12 months.
