There has been new progress on the issue of Pogba's use of banned drugs, with Sky Sports reporting that Pogba has admitted to Juventus management that he used illegal drugs, but has not admitted that he took them on purpose, but insisted that he used them unintentionally. Even so, Pogba will be banned for at least 2 years, and during the suspension period, he will not be able to receive any salary, and even Juve have the right to terminate Pogba's contract, which is not good news for Juve.
Let's start with a brief explanation about Pogba's use of banned drugs, according to the rules of the penalty, players will be sentenced to a 2-year ban if they use it unintentionally, and a 4-year ban if they use it intentionally. The name of the illicit drug used by Pogba is "non-endogenous testosterone metabolite", the use of this drug is somewhat special, it needs to be used by injection, and the registered part is a private part, so Pogba's ignorance of this matter is certainly unreasonable, and can only be justified by misuse.
After Pogba's problems, his agent Pimenta quickly said in an interview that Pogba would not take the initiative, and Pogba's attitude is the same, but the final verdict still has to be confirmed by the doping organization. However, it is clear that Pogba is not currently re-testing and has admitted his problems to Juve, and he will face a suspension of at least two years, during which Juve can discuss the termination of Pogba's contract in advance.
Since returning to Juventus last season, Pogba's injury situation has been very unsatisfactory, with very little playing time for the team, it is difficult to bring much help to Juve, and he still has the highest salary in the team. Therefore, if Pogba is released from his contract under the right conditions, it is also good news for Juve, which is in a critical period, and does not need to continue to pay Pogba's salary to save a lot of money, and can allow the team to continue to attract signings in the transfer market.
Pogba's career will also be greatly affected by this incident, and if nothing else, it will be difficult for Pogba to return to football after being suspended, and his career can basically end early. From being one of the best midfielders in the world, to being suspended without pay and ending his career even at the age of 31, Pogba's talent has undoubtedly been wasted, but this waste seems to be all his personal reason and no one can save him.
