Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has been banned from football for four years after testing positive for a banned substance.
Pogba tested positive for testosterone earlier this season and was suspended on September 11, 2023, while officials opened an investigation.
Pogba argued that he had ingested the substance accidentally in the hope of receiving a reduced suspension but, as first revealed by La Repubblica, his claims have been rejected and he has now been handed the biggest possible suspension of four years.
Pogba will turn 31 in March and will not be able to return to competitive football until shortly before his 35th birthday.
