Pogba’s four-year drug ban slashed to 18 months

Former France international Paul Pogba has received a significant reprieve after his four-year ban for doping was reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) according to reports from Daily Mail’s Sami Mokbel and Fabrizio Romano.

The 31-year-old Juventus midfielder tested positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a banned substance that increases testosterone levels, following his team’s victory over Udinese in August 2023.

A second test confirmed the initial result, leading to the original four-year ban.
