Paul Pogba 'poised for medical at Champions League club' as ex-Man United star nears return to football after 18-month doping ban

Paul Pogba is reportedly only a medical away from sealing his return to professional football following an 18-month doping ban.

The former Manchester United and Juventus midfielder was handed a four-year doping ban after returning an adverse drugs test.

That suspension was later slashed to just 18 months.

In the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s final judgement it was confirmed that Pogba did inadvertently take DHEA, a substance that boosts testosterone that is on WADA's banned list. The ruling stated however that DHEA only has an effect on females.
