Juventus star Paul Pogba has been suspended from soccer for four years by Italy’s anti-doping body.
Pogba tested positive for testosterone in August and was provisionally suspended while the case played out. A test of his “B” sample in October confirmed the positive result.
“I am sad, shocked and heartbroken that everything I have built in my professional playing career has been taken away from me,” Pogba wrote in a statement on Instagram. “When I am free of legal restrictions the full story will become clear, but I have never knowingly or deliberately taken any supplements that violate anti-doping regulations.
