Breaking News: Paul Pogba's Shocking Doping Scandal Returns with New Test Results!
Juventus midfielder Pogba faces potential anti-doping violation consequences as he tests positive again in counter-analysis tests; if convicted, he could face a lengthy ban of up to four years Pogba, who returned to Juve from Man United last year, has featured in eight Serie A matches this season
Paul Pogba, as per our sources, is determined to vindicate himself following the confirmation of a positive result for a banned substance in the retesting of his 'B sample'. In order to avoid a potentially lengthy suspension from football, the 30-year-old is committed to thoroughly examining everything he has consumed to determine how the substance infiltrated his system.
DHEA has been identified as the substance found in both samples, promoting the production of hormones such as testosterone in the body.
Following the first positive result in September and a temporary suspension from playing, Pogba's agent, Rafaela Pimenta, emphasized that "Paul never intended to violate the regulations."
Pogba is determined to contest the finding and is likely to seek a hearing before an impartial tribunal. The burden of proof lies on him, rather than the anti-doping authorities, to demonstrate that he did not intentionally violate the rules. Additionally, contrary to numerous reports, Pogba did not disclose his use of a prohibited substance to anyone at Juventus, according to We News sources.
The athlete bears full responsibility for maintaining cleanliness and abiding by anti-doping regulations, as emphasized by NADO Italia and WADA. However, determining the extent of fault or negligence is crucial in determining the length of a potential ban, as well as considering other mitigating factors that may influence the severity of the punishment.
The duration of this process can be quite lengthy, and the conclusions that come out of it can be subject to appeal. However, as it stands currently, Pogba is at a genuine risk of being banned from the game for a period of four years.
Consequently, he may not be able to participate in the upcoming European Championships next summer or the 2026 World Cup in North and Central America. The status of his contractual agreement with Juventus, which is set to end in 2026, would also be at stake.
The former Manchester United midfielder was provisionally suspended on September 11 after a test taken following the Serie A game against Udinese on August 20 returned a positive result.
