Reports in Italy say Pogba has tested positive for elevated levels of testosterone.
Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has allegedly tested positive for the use of testosterone, according to multiple reports in Italy.
The player, Juventus, Serie A or the Italian Football Federation have not yet confirmed the news or made any statements. The Juventus midfielder is said to have been found to have elevated levels of the hormone in random checks carried out after the Italian club’s opening Serie A clash with Udinese which took place on August 20, according to news agency ANSA.
Pogba, who won the World Cup with France in 2018, remained on the bench throughout the match but has appeared as a substitute in subsequent clashes against Bologna and Empoli. It is not clear which body has conducted the tests. Pogba left United in 2020 following a record £89m move from Juventus in 2016. He made 233 appearances and netted 39 goals and recorded 51 assists in that time, winning the Europa League and League Cup.
