Pogba and the Doping Case: The Defense Strategy of Unawareness

More than good faith, the defensive strategy of the pool of lawyers appointed by Pogba could appeal to the concept of unawareness: the difference is subtle, but it better suits the story of which the protagonist is number 10 black and white. You act in good faith when you do something without knowing the consequences that this action can trigger, but you are accused of unawareness when, in the case of the Octopus, you take a drug without knowing that it contains molecules of doping substances.

Pogba and the doping case: the possible defense

The unawareness it is often used as a synonym for ignorance, in the sense not of lack of education or education but of not knowing, in this case, that a certain supplement may contain prohibited substances. Given that Pogba’s gesture was neither voluntary (he’s not a dope) nor accidental (the integrator bought it and hired it himself), the French midfielder will have to demonstrate unawareness and involuntaryness. Of course, the defense thesis will have to clash with the fragility of both the indications on the offending bottle on which the risks he was facing were apparently written and the failure to inform the doctors of the Juventus of the substance taken.

In all the clubs the medical staff have raised the level of attention of the players so that they also report the toothache tablet taken on holiday, therefore that of Pogba is considered gross negligence. But some also argue that the aggravating circumstance could turn into a point in favor if the defense lawyers manage to argue that Pogba did not inform the Juventus doctors of the natural supplement taken precisely because he excluded a priori that it was a drug and could contain metabolites of the testosterone. The purpose of anti-doping justice is to combat the phenomenon and its practice, not only those who have violated the rules: Pogba will have to name the name and surname of the specialist who recommended the supplement to him and the investigations will extend backwards towards the professional to understand if other athletes have remained involved.
