“Football is losing an extraordinary player,” Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri said on Saturday, the day after Paul Pogba’s positive anti-doping test was confirmed. “On a human level, it displeases me a lot, because I am close to the boy,” said Allegri after his team’s victory in the Turin derby against Torino (2-0).
“Football loses an extraordinary player who was different from all the others,” continued the Italian technician while the Italian anti-doping authorities will now begin investigating the Pogba case. “This saddens us all, we hope the best for him, because on a psychological level it must not be easy for him. »
The 2018 world champion, who tested positive for testosterone, on the sidelines of the match on the first day of Serie A, in which he did not participate, is liable to a four-year suspension, which can be reduced to two years if non-intentionality is demonstrated. Since the announcement of his positive doping test on September 11, Pogba, 30, has no longer had access to the club’s training center.
