Paul Pogba: Is this the end?

A week later, the news came through that Pogba had given an adverse analytical finding in an anti-doping control sample after Juventus’ season opener in Udine, a game in which he warmed the bench. “Paul has been going through an extremely tough time for months, tough like the sentence and I obviously can’t be indifferent given the relationship we’ve built with the national team.” Pogba holds the 2018 World Cup trophy In an Instagram post, his agent Rafaela Pimenta called him “the one who never gives up. Pogba’s wife, Zulay, insisted: “The truth will always prevail, stay strong like always mi rey.” Some of his Juventus team-mates have rallied around him.
