The Old Lady provisionally suspended Pogba last month after returning from a doping test with unusually high levels of testosterone following a league win vs. Udinese in August.

However, the footballer requested that the sample be analyzed for a 2^nd time as he expected to be an error and to be able to play again.

However, it’s not the result that Pogba has hoped for as his B sample also confirmed that he used a forbidden drug, and now the Serie A side that owns his rights will consider how to resolve the unpleasant situation for both sides.

Most likely, Juventus will try to cancel the French contract after the player would probably gets a multi-year suspension from football activities.
