The second sample test for French footballer Paul Pogba, who plays for the Italian team Juventus, has also returned positive. High levels of testosterone were detected in the sample taken from 30-year-old Pogba following the match against Udinese in the first week of the league. It has been announced that the second sample of Pogba, who had appealed the initial result announced on September 11, also tested positive.
COULD FACE A BAN
The Italian Anti-Doping Organization (NADO) had imposed a provisional suspension on the French footballer after the first test returned positive. Players found to have violated anti-doping regulations can face a ban of up to four years if it is proven that the rule violation was intentional.
