OFFICIAL: Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has now been provisionally suspended for anti-doping offense
Decision has been officially confirmed by Italy’s National Anti-Doping tribunal statement.
Paul Pogba has tested positive for testosterone for Juventus-Udinese, a match in which he didn't even feature.
It's another negative note for a player who has been bothered by injuries ever since rejoining Juventus from Manchester United a little more than a year ago. He was ruled out of France's run to the World Cup final last year due to a knee injury.
There's also been a police investigation ongoing in France into allegations that Pogba was targeted by extortionists - including by his older brother, Mathias, who has denied any wrongdoing.
It's also another blow to Juventus following a season marred by inquiries into false accounting and irregular reporting of salary payments. The legal cases resulted in the Turin club being removed by UEFA from European competition this season.

Let me break it down to common people like us: An anti-doping offense refers to a violation of rules and regulations established by sports organizations and governing bodies to prevent the use of prohibited substances or methods by athletes. These rules are in place to maintain fairness, integrity, and safety in sports competitions. Anti-doping offenses can include: Doping: The use of prohibited substances or methods to enhance athletic performance. This can include anabolic steroids, stimulants, hormones, and other performance-enhancing drugs. Failure to Test or Provide a Sample: Athletes are required to undergo drug tests, and refusing to provide a sample or evading testing is considered an offense. Tampering with Samples: Attempting to manipulate or tamper with urine or blood samples to avoid detection is a serious offense. Possession or Trafficking: Possessing or trafficking prohibited substances or methods, even if not used, can result in anti-doping violations. Whereabouts Violations: Athletes are often required to provide information on their whereabouts for drug testing purposes. Failure to do so accurately or missing scheduled tests can lead to violations. Use of Prohibited Methods: In addition to substances, certain methods like blood doping or gene doping are also prohibited. Sanctions for anti-doping offenses can include disqualification from competitions, loss of medals and rankings, suspension from participation, and in some cases, legal consequences. Various anti-doping agencies, such as the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA), enforce these rules globally to promote clean and fair sports.
