A possible four-year suspension is looming for Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba due to a doping scandal.
The controversy intensified after he tested positive in a second test for elevated levels of testosterone, a hormone that boosts the endurance of athletes.
Pogba had initially failed the test in August when the Italian Anti-Doping Organization (NADO) randomly selected him to undergo it following Juve’s opening game of the season against Udinese, during which he sat unused as a substitute.
The French international was suspended on September 11 after the result came back positive.
Having failed again in the recent counter-analysis drug test, the 30-year-old midfielder could face up to a four-year suspension.
The years could be halved if he is able to prove that he used the illegal substances unintentionally.
