Pogba ignored supplement instructions that raised his testosterone

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba ignored the instructions for the nutritional supplement he was taking, which led to his doping tests to come out positive for testosterone. The 30-year-old Frenchman may get a disqualification for 4 years.

According to the Italian publications, in the information leaflet of the product taken by Pogba on the advice of an American doctor, it was clearly written that there was a risk of doping. However, the world champion has ignored this information. This could seriously jeopardize Pogba’s defense before the anti-doping authorities.

? Paul Pogba will request a second opinion on his positive testosterone test! ??

The Frenchman wants to do everything in his power to prove he had the substance in his system unintentionally and to avoid a possible four-year suspension. ?

The French midfielder is now awaiting the counter-analysis of the sample taken. If it tests positive again for testosterone, Pogba could be banned for between two and four years, depending on whether he deliberately used the product. If the midfielder is found guilty, Juventus will be able to terminate his contract, which runs until 2026, and save around 30 million euros, equivalent to the total amount of expected wages for that period.
