In a stunning turn of events, former Manchester United star and current Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba is embroiled in controversy as reports of a potential positive testosterone test emerge. This revelation has sent shockwaves through the football community.
The alleged incident took place following Juventus’ commanding 3-0 victory over Udinese on August 20. Despite being relegated to the substitutes’ bench during the match, Pogba was selected for a random drug test. To the surprise of many, the initial test revealed elevated testosterone levels in his system. A second test sample is scheduled to be analyzed to confirm or refute these shocking results. If the second test also confirms the presence of testosterone, Pogba may face a two-year suspension from the game, pending a trial by the National Anti-Doping Tribunal.
Mirror Football has contacted Juventus, Pogba’s representatives, and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) for their comments on this concerning development. Pogba’s return to Juventus in July 2022 on a free transfer has been marred by injuries, limiting his playing time. Although he was an unused substitute in the Udinese match, he did make appearances in subsequent games against Bologna and Empoli. Unfortunately, after the 2-0 victory over Empoli on September 3, Pogba reported a back problem, further hampering his comeback.
Paul Pogba, a central midfielder with an illustrious career, boasts 91 caps for the French national team, playing a pivotal role in their 2018 World Cup triumph. However, he has not represented his country since 2022. During his tenure with Manchester United from 2016 to 2022, Pogba made 233 appearances, scoring 39 goals and providing 51 assists.
On the Serie A front, Juventus sits in third place with seven points from their first three matches. However, they will not participate in European competitions this season, as they were ousted from the Conference League by UEFA due to financial irregularities. The outcome of the impending test results and any subsequent actions will undoubtedly have significant ramifications for both Paul Pogba’s career and the football world.
