Juventus and former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba has been banned for four years over a doping offence, Sky News understands – potentially ending his career at the top level.
The Frenchman, who won a World Cup with Les Bleus in his heyday in 2018, turns 31 next month, meaning he could be pushing 35 by the time he’s allowed back on the pitch.
He was provisionally suspended by Italy’s national anti-doping (NADO) Italia tribunal in September after testing positive for abnormal levels of testosterone.
The footballer has made only a handful of appearances since moving back to Juventus from Manchester United on a free transfer for a second time.
