ToggleWHAT HAPPENED?

THE BIGGER PICTURE
That sanction was handed out as a result of failing doping tests in 2023. Pogba was found to have elevated levels of testosterone in his system, with the results of a ‘B’ sample also coming back positive. The France international is now taking his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

WHAT POGBA SAID
Pogba has told when asked about his ban: “It's difficult to be totally honest. Football has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. However, I have my family, my faith, my friends, and my fans who have supported me, which makes things easier. All will be well.”
