Paul Pogba Seeking Reduced Doping Ban Amid 4-Year Ban Threat 

A four-year suspension for doping code violations is a possibility, thus Paul Pogba lawyer will try to negotiate a shorter penalty.

After Juventus’ 3-0 Serie A victory against Udinese in August, Pogba tested positive for the banned chemical DHEA in an anti-doping test. The test revealed elevated testosterone levels, and THEEAGLE is aware that the Anti-Doping Prosecutor’s Office anticipates the midfield player will get a four-year penalty. Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Pogba’s attorneys are aiming to have the punishment reduced to only two years during the January hearing.

Pogba—who will turn 31 in a year—faces a protracted suspension for failing the anti-doping test. A four-year suspension for the midfield player would probably be the end of a career marred by controversy. Juventus will probably let go of Pogba, who returned to the team after spending six turbulent years at Manchester United, if he receives the heavier sentence.

Since returning to the Bianconeri last season, Pogba’s playing time has been significantly limited by injury. He played a total of 161 minutes in 2022-23 and only added a further 52 this term before being suspended.

Pogba is scheduled to appear in court in January 2024 as part of the doping trial; the prosecution is attempting to impose a four-year suspension on the midfield player. It’s improbable that Pogba will wear a Juventus jersey once more, regardless of the length of his two- or four-year sentence.
