Juventus' Paul Pogba Suspended 4 Years After Failing Drug Test for Testosterone

The Italian Anti-Doping Organization (NADO) announced Thursday that Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has been suspended from soccer for four years after failing a drug test.

According to Colin Millar and James Horncastle of The Athletic, Pogba initially failed the test following an Aug. 20 match against Udinese and was handed a provisional suspension. Pogba's B sample confirmed the original positive test from his A sample, and it was determined that he had elevated levels of testosterone that were not produced by his body.

The 30-year-old Pogba, who is in the midst of his second season at Juventus and is under contract through 2026, could potentially appeal the decision.
