Paul Pogba reveals he was left 'shocked' by 'unkind' Juventus as former Man United star nears return to football after 18-month doping ban

Paul Pogba believes that Juventus did not do enough to support him during his doping ban.

The former Man United midfielder was handed a four-year suspension after returning an adverse drugs test, however that was later slashed to 18 months. The ban officially ended in March.

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.

Pogba left Juventus last November after the Serie A club confirmed the termination of his contract by mutual consent.
