A little over a year ago, Paul Pogba was preparing to make his return to the world of football. But the Frenchman was then caught by a positive doping test.
A positive test for DHEA, a substance which was in the supplements prescribed by an American doctor whom he had consulted to help him prepare as best as possible for his return to the game. But after passing before the CAS, he managed to do claim negligence.
A first victory
In the end, the four-year sanction was reduced to eighteen months, which will allow him to play again next March. At the moment, we don’t yet know where that will be, even though he is under contract at Juventus until 2026.
The Old Lady would have sat down with the player to find an agreement for an early departure. But for the moment there has been no confirmation, neither from one side nor the other and the player recently declared that he wanted to do everything to play again with the Turinese.
Free spirit?
In any case, before that there will be the opening of the trial linked to the kidnapping and the attempted international racketeering. L’Equipe announces that this trial will be held from November 26 to December 3 in Paris.
As a reminder, the facts date back to March 2022 and six men including several childhood friends of the footballer as well as his brother Mathias had tried to obtain significant sums of money from the Blue. For a week, they will have to explain these facts.
For Paul Pogba, the fact that the trial takes place on the dates mentioned will allow him to approach his return to competition with a free mind, whether at Juventus or at another club.
