Clearly, nothing is working for Paul Pogba in recent months. The future of the Juventus Turin midfielder is even more uncertain, after the results of the second opinion which confirmed his positive test for testosterone. The information was revealed on Friday October 6 by the Italian media and confirmed by AFP. Paul Pogba and his advisers will now have to look at the defense strategy to adopt.
The French midfielder, who has not appeared in Blue since March 2022, has seven days to give his file to the Italian anti-doping authorities. He will be able to give his version of the facts and put forward his arguments. The verdict is likely to be delivered in several weeks, although it is too early to know the exact date. The sanction can be up to four years of suspension, but can also be reduced to one or two years.
Except that it will be up to Paul Pogba to prove his innocence. He will have to explain how the testosterone got into his body and demonstrate that it was not intentional. The 1998 world champion’s camp speaks of contamination by a food supplement on the advice of a doctor friend, in the United States, without having referred or informed his club. Pogba, suspended since September 11, remains so until further notice. His club Juventus must, for its part, decide whether or not to terminate its contract given his situation.
