The French midfielder of Juventus Turin Paul Pogba has tested positive for testosterone again, after confirming the counteranalysis of the anti-doping test he underwent after the Udinese-Juventus match.
The footballer, world champion in 2018 with his country's national team, will remain provisionally suspended while the Italian Anti-Doping Prosecutor's Office (NADO) investigates the facts, according to local media reports and the AFP agency was also able to confirm from sources close to the case.
On September 11, Pogba's positive test for testosterone was confirmed in a test carried out on August 20 in the match between the Turin team and Udinese, which the midfielder experienced from the bench.
Immediately, that same day, the National Anti-Doping Court decreed his suspension, attributing to him the violation of codes 2.1 and 2.1 of the Sports Rules that sanction the use and even attempted consumption of prohibited substances.
Pogba, 30 years old and who has played for Manchester United and Juventus, where he returned in 2022, could be sanctioned with up to four years of disqualification. In practice that would mean that his career would already be in danger.
