French midfielder Paul Pogba (31), who was suspended for four years for doping, has had his sanction reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS). He will be able to return to the game from 11 March 2025.
“The suspension is now 18 months, starting September 11, 2023“, declared Matthieu Reeb, Director General of the TAS.
The 31-year-old midfielder, who is linked to Juventus Turin until June 2026, was temporarily suspended in September 2023 by the Italian anti-doping agency after testing positive for DHEA, a banned product that increases the level of testosterone. The doping test was carried out on August 20, 2023, after the Italian championship match between his club and Udinese.
Paul Pogba, who denies the allegations against him, announced in February that he would appeal the decision to the CAS. A successful decision for him. The player did not make a statement on Friday but published a photo of himself, crampons on his feet, on his Instagram profile.
