Along with the news that the powerful Agnelli family is preparing to sell Juventus, another unpleasant news appeared: the French midfielder of the Italian team Paul Pogba tested positive for a doping test for testosterone. And these are no longer rumors, but a real problem for the European giant.
Juventus is preparing for the sale. Sheikhs rub their hands in anticipation
Immediately after the first match of the new Serie A season against Udinese (3-0), Paul tested positive for doping. The tests recorded excessively high levels of testosterone, one of the main male hormones responsible for muscle and bone mass.
Pogba was on the bench the entire game, but the Frenchman came on as a substitute in the games against Bologna and Empoli. At the moment, Paul is only given a few days to request tests again. If a positive result is confirmed, he must appear before the Italian National Anti-Doping Committee.
At the moment, the star midfielder has already been subject to a temporary suspension: “The Anti-Doping Court has taken measures to suspend the athlete Paul Pogba as a precautionary measure. Testosterone metabolites of non-endogenous origin have been discovered.”

Rafaela Pimenta, the Frenchman’s agent, naturally covers her client: “We are waiting for additional evidence, until the results are obtained we cannot share our opinion. “One thing is for sure: Pogba never wanted to break the rules.”
Pogba could receive up to two years of disqualification, and if it is proven that Paul deliberately took testosterone, the period of ban from football will increase to four years. If he is found guilty, the Frenchman will violate articles 2.1 and 2.2 of the Serie A rules: “use of a prohibited substance” and “attempt to use a prohibited substance.” Since the beginning of the 21st century, the use of doping in Italy has been classified as a criminal offense.

Natural testosterone is produced by the human body itself, but by taking a chemical analogue, the levels increase. The popularity of testosterone as a doping is due to its strong effect on strength and muscle mass. It also affects the breakdown of fat cells. But there is another surprising effect when taking drugs containing artificial testosterone: with treatment from this doping, a person stops feeling overwork and fatigue during the training process, and the body’s recovery from excessive physical exertion occurs many times faster. .
Alternatively, in addition to Paul Pogba’s own guilt for having the famous drug in his blood, there is also a conspiracy theory about what happened, because the French player has one of the club’s highest salaries: 8 million euros per season, with a contract until 2026, then if a positive B sample is detected, according to the regulations, Juventus has the right not to pay salary for the entire duration of the disqualification.
So far, this option of setting up his star seems fantastic, but what the hell is it not a joke when the option of big savings is at stake, even though Paul himself does not look very good as a football player and needs to be paid for another three full years.
