Slowly, the world of football is anticipating the long absence of Paul Pogba from the football fields. Testing positive for testosterone during the first day of the championship in September, the Juventus midfielder requested a second opinion. On Friday, sample B also revealed the presence of this anabolic steroid.
Since then, “la Pioche” has no longer had access to his club’s training center. Above all, he risks a four-year suspension, which can be reduced by half if he manages to demonstrate non-intentionality. For this, the 30-year-old would have to rely on the use of a food supplement that an American doctor would have prescribed to him.
Already weakened by numerous injuries in recent years, Paul Pogba risks being away from the football fields for a long time, even a very long time. Saturday, after Juventus’ victory against Torino (2-0) in the Turin derby, their coach Massimiliano Allegri spoke about his midfielder. “On a human level, it displeases me a lot, because I am close to the boy,” said the Italian coach.
“Football loses an extraordinary player who was different from all the others,” he continued as the Italian anti-doping authorities will now begin investigating the Pogba case. “Let’s wait for the sanction,” Allegri stressed. We all regret this, we hope the best for him, because on a psychological level it must not be easy for him. »
Since these results, Juventus no longer pays its annual salary of eight million euros, which made it the largest of the Piedmont club. Pogba has since received the minimum salary provided for by the collective agreement for Italian professional players which is 42,500 euros per year.
