Paul Pogba's Doping Ban Reduced to 18 Months After Successful Appeal

The Court of Arbitration for Sport has cut Pogba's initial four-year suspension, allowing him to return to football in March 2025.

  • Paul Pogba was initially suspended for four years after testing positive for DHEA, a banned substance, following a Juventus match in August 2023.
  • The Court of Arbitration for Sport reduced his suspension to 18 months, starting from September 11, 2023.
  • Pogba, who has a contract with Juventus until June 2026, denied any wrongdoing and appealed the initial ban.
  • The reduction means Pogba will be eligible to play competitive football again in early 2025.
  • This decision was influenced by factors such as the possibility of unintentional doping or contamination.
