Paul Pogba tested positive for testosterone following the first Serie A matchday on August 20th. He is currently provisionally suspended pending the counter-analysis of the sample taken during his doping control. His agent, Rafaela Pimenta, is fighting back.
She asserts that Paul Pogba “never intended to break the rules” and wishes to “await the counter-analysis” of the sample taken during his doping control to prepare his defense properly.
However, if the positivity is confirmed, an investigation will follow, and Pogba will have to convince the Anti-Doping Tribunal that he inadvertently consumed the substance, risking up to four years of suspension according to the World Anti-Doping Code.
