This decision means that the French player will be allowed to play football again in the month of March 2025.
Pogba, 31, has not played since August 2023 after he was found to have taken the illegal testosterone booster DHEA. After his Juventus team's match against Udinese, in September 2023, the National Anti-Drug Agency (NADO), selected some of the Juventus players, to be tested for drug use.
Testosterone is a normal male hormone but can be increased with the help of drugs. It is often performed on athletes to increase their strength. In addition to the four-year suspension, if convicted it could also result in him not returning to the game altogether.
The results of that time showed that Pogba was using drugs, he was immediately suspended but was given three days to give other tests to be properly evaluated if it is true.
A four-year sentence is stipulated in international anti-doping laws, but it can be reduced if the player proves that the use of illegal drugs was not intentional.
This 18-month sentence, Paul Pogba received, will be counted from September 11, 2023, according to the CEO of CAS Matthieu Reeb.
After the news of the suspension became known, Paul Pogba showed his emotions by posting a photo on social media wearing his football boots and France national team socks.
Pogba returned to Juventus in 2022 after six years at Manchester United. Since his return from Italy, Paul Pogba has been plagued by injuries.
