Trouble for Pogba after failing anti-doping test

Paul Pogba, a midfielder for Juventus, tested positive for testosterone during his team’s Serie A match against Udinese, Corriere della Sera reports.

According to the article, Pogba has three days to answer the charge.

In the majority of the top European leagues, players routinely submit to anti-doping testing right after games.

Pogba featured against Bologna and Empoli before his test was allegedly confirmed to maintain traces of testosterone.

The former Manchester United midfielder must now produce a counter-analysis of the result.

If Pogba is found guilty, bans for doping in Serie A can carry suspensions from playing lasting between two and four years, leaving the 30-year-old in significant trouble.
