France World Cup winner, Paul Pogba, has been banned from football for four years because of doping.
The punishment effectively ends Pogba’s career as the Juventus midfielder turns 31 years old in March.
Pogba, who has been suspended since last September, was tested in August and the results showed elevated levels of testosterone, a hormone that increases athletes’ endurance.
The tribunal said Pogba had violated anti-doping rules when they found the prohibited substance “non-endogenous testosterone metabolites”, a hormone that increases athletes’ endurance.ver
Meanwhile, a second test sample has now been checked and the former Manchester United star has been handed a four-year ban, considered among the strongest possible punishments for the offence.
