ICYMI: Pogba banned for four years after failed doping test
Paul Pogba has been suspended from football for four years after a failed anti-doping test.
Juventus midfielder Pogba, 30, was initially handed a provisional suspension by NADO (the Italian Anti-Doping Organisation) in September after the failed test, which followed his side’s 3-0 win at Udinese on August 20.
FIFA’s guidelines for suspensions on players who violate its anti-doping regulations ranges between two and four years, depending on whether it can be proven that the rule violation was intentional.
Pogba has announced he will appeal the suspension.
