Pogba admits to taking banned drugs by mistake! He will be banned for 2 years, earn only 2,000 euros a month, or retire

On Monday, Pogba was temporarily suspended for a positive anti-doping test. Sky Sports revealed on Wednesday that Pogba had admitted to the club that he had "mistakenly taken" a doping-containing drug, which could result in him being suspended for two years.

After the Anti-Doping Court announced a temporary suspension of Pogba, Pogba has three days to request another test, and once he does, within seven days.

If the second test is still positive, Pogba will be tried by the anti-doping court, and the other option is for Pogba to reach a plea deal. However, Pogba did not ask for retesting on Tuesday or Wednesday, which means he may have known he had violated the law.

If Pogba is proven to have intentionally taken banned drugs, he will face a maximum of 4 years of ban. Considering Pogba's age and injuries, once he is banned for 4 years, Pogba may choose to retire. In an interview in 2022, Pogba admitted that he had considered retiring.

Sky Sports revealed that while speaking with Juve's team doctor, Pogba had accepted the advice of a doctor friend to buy supplements from the United States to help him recover, but the United States enforced different anti-doping rules than Italy, which led him to violate Italian rules. In this case, Pogba may choose to reach a plea deal with the court, but that means he will be suspended for 2 years.

Juve have made a decision following a temporary suspension and Pogba has been suspended by the club. At the same time, Juve will only pay Pogba a minimum wage, with a monthly salary of only about 2,000 euros, and an annual salary of only 47,000 euros before tax, while Pogba's annual salary is as high as 10 million yuan. At the same time, if they are eventually suspended, then Juve can request an early end to Pogba's contract.
