Paul Pogba has asked for counter analysis to be made on his positive doping test.

 

The Juventus midfielder had until this evening to make the request on a sample in which he tested positive for testosterone, and the process will take seven days. If the positive result is upheld, the anti-doping prosecution process will begin.

If he is ultimately convicted of the offence, he can face a ban from football of two years that could even double to four if the substance is specifically listed and the anti-doping organisation find it was taken intentionally.

Juventus are ready to suspend Pogba’s wages if the counter-analysis is positive and proceedings begin, while they can also terminate his contract if he is ultimately banned. Via Sky news
