Former Manchester United midfielder, Paul Pogba has been handed a four-year ban from football after failing a drugs test.
The juventus star tested positive for testosterone after Juventus’s first game of the season against Udinese.
He was given his hefty punishment by an anti-doping prosecutor’s office in Italy on Thursday according to Dail Mail
Pogba’s lawyers had rejected a plea deal and hoped to get their client a lighter sentence after claiming that he had accidentally ingested the substance that caused the positive test.
However, the prosecution did not believe Pogba’s defence, and he has now been given a ban that could potentially end his career.
Pogba will turn 31 next month, meaning he would not be able to return to the pitch until he is almost 35.
