Paul Pogba might never set foot on a football field again. Find out why | Football News

Former Manchester United and current Juventus player Paul Pogba was on Thursday banned from the sport for 4 years due to doping, according to various news outlets.
Last year, Pogba had tested positive for testosterone after Juventus’s first game of the season against Udinese. He was then given his hefty punishment an anti-doping prosecutor’s office on Thursday.
It’s another negative note for a player who has been bothered injuries ever since rejoining Juventus from Manchester United a little more than a year ago. He was ruled out of France’s run to the World Cup final last year due to a knee injury and played in only six Serie A matches for Juventus last season.
There’s also been a police investigation ongoing in France into allegations that Pogba was targeted extortions — including his older brother, Mathias, who has denied any wrongdoing.
The latest blow to Juventus follows the 2022 season being marred inquiries into false accounting and irregular reporting of salary payments. The legal cases resulted in the Turin club being removed UEFA from European competition this season.
Having started his career at United and then gone to Juventus and back to Manchester, Pogba was known for his versatility, physicality and eye for the goal.

When he returned to United in 2016, the Manchester club paid Juventus a then world-record transfer fee of 105 million euros ($113 million).
