Paul Pogba is living difficult hours after the latest news that has paralyzed the world of European football. The current Juventus FC player tests positive for testosterone in his latest anti-doping test, and could be close to facing a serious sanction if this is confirmed. The player had not been active in the last game, but he violates serious rules of the sport.

 

Corriere dello Sport has reported that Juventus, the club Pogba returned to this summer, could face serious consequences if the positive test is confirmed. The Italian Football Federation could sanction the club with the loss of points or even exclusion from Serie A.

On the other hand, the newspaper Marca has indicated that Juventus has decided to suspend Pogbá preventively while the investigation is carried out. The Italian club has expressed its support for the player and hopes that the situation will be clarified as soon as possible.

 

What could be Pogba's sanction if the positive test is confirmed?

According to La Stampa, the French player could have a four-year suspension without playing. There have been recent cases, such as that of Onana, who was suspended for almost a year, but it seems that Pogba's case is a little more serious than that of the Cameroonian goalkeeper at the time. The positive could complicate the career of Pogba, who had been dealing with serious injuries.
