A four-year ban is sought for Pogba
The anti-doping prosecution has requested a four-year suspension for Paul Pogba after he tested positive for dehydroepiandrosterone after the Udinese-Juventus match on August 20.
Pogba was suspended on September 12, then reconfirmed on October 6 when the counter-analysis confirmed the positive result.
Hence, no plea deal, contrary to what had been rumored in recent weeks. The French midfielder will go on trial before the national anti-doping court.
About twenty days ago his agent Rafaela Pimenta said: “We are preparing an appeal. As a lawyer, I am the first person to say that if something needs to be discussed at a legal level, it should stay there.”
The trial should begin in about a month and a half, with the plea agreement there would have been no possibility of appeal, however in this case “CAS” may also come into play later.
