Read our privacy policy Paul Pogba has tested positive for testosterone in a counter-analysis on a second sample, Sky Sports and ANSA news agency reported on Friday, and the Juventus midfielder could now face a lengthy ban from football. Pogba was provisionally suspended last month after a test, performed after Juve’s 3-0 Serie A season-opening victory at Udinese on 20 August, detected testosterone, a hormone that increases athletes’ endurance. In cases such as Pogba’s, a four-year ban is the most severe punishment, with an initial two-year ban being extended if it can be proven that the player has taken a banned substance deliberately.
