Paul Pogba has failed an anti-doping test. According to the Italian press, they have been found traces of testosterone in the sample of the French midfielder, collected on August 20 after a Udinese – Juventus match in Serie A that ended with a result of 0-3. Even though the Frenchman did not have any minutes in the game, he had to pass control.
After the positive the footballer will be suspended on a precautionary basis and will have the right to request a counter-analysis within a period of three days. If he also tests positive, he will be tried by the national anti-doping court if there is no plea agreement. In the worst case scenario you could receive a disqualification from up to two years in case of doping accidental and four if it is proven to be intentionalaccording to Sport Mediaset.
The last precedent in Serie A was that of Palomino, from Atalanta, who ended up being acquitted after four months of suspension for “presence of a prohibited substance” and “use or attempted use of a prohibited substance.” This setback may add to the injury that forced Pogba to withdraw from the match against Empoli. Between this match and the previous one against Bologna, 52 minutes have been played in official competition.
