The French midfielder tested positive in an anti-doping test with Vecchia Signora.
Situation to follow at Juventus and compared to Paul Pogba: as reported by the “Corriere della Sera”, Paul Pogba gave positive in a doping test taken after the match on the first day of the Serie A between Juventus and Bologna.
After that match, in which the French midfielder did not take the field, Pogba played against Bologna and Empoli before leaving due to a minor injury.
An issue that must first of all be clarified and then analyzed with caution as soon as the official confirmations arrive.

The latest news about Pogba contains some confirmations: the Frenchman, positive for testosterone metabolites, has been provisionally suspended by the National Anti-Doping Tribunal.
WHAT IS TESTOSTERONE?
Testosterone is a steroid hormone: its functions are also aimed at increasing muscle mass.
Testosterone is present in several over-the-counter medications, including anti-inflammatory gels and ointments.

The rather complicated phase continues for Paul Pogba, who had very long periods away from the playing field last season due to recurring injuries suffered since pre-season.
Available again for the end of the championship, Pogba came onto the pitch as a substitute before being injured again, and in his first start, against Cremonese in the penultimate match of the final Serie A campaign.
This year it seemed for the Frenchman that a new and different chapter could open in his second experience at Juventus, but from the start new unexpected scenarios seem to arise.
THE SANCTIONS
