According to Daily Mail, 10X Health Systems, a wellness company based in the United States, is accused of manufacturing the pills that caused Pogba to violate doping laws. At least one of the bottles that has gotten Pogba into trouble bears the name 10X Health Systems on it, placing Gary Brecka and Carrie Carda at the core of the controversy.
The Mail claims there is photographic evidence of that, with the 31-year-old claiming to have taken a course of tablets that were prescribed to him to help address certain deficiencies in his body. Pogba claims that Carda administered the pills in questions following his initial consultation with Brecka, while Carda “prescribed” other medication.
Brecka, who has been billed as a “celebrity health guru”, has been pictured with David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo in the past, while also working with a number of other high-profile clients that are said to include NFL and UFC stars, model and businesswoman Jenner and music producer P Diddy.
