Returned elevated levels of Testosterone in a random drug test even though he only sat on the bench all game.

Having an absolute nightmare in Italy. His return to Juve is going worse than his return to United.

Pogbanned

 

[Wumminator]

Oh man.

What a shame that it’s going to end so badly for him.

 

[Perro Caca]

What a waste of talent. Probably the biggest warning to young players to not buy into the hype of social media.

Probably shouldn't be discussing an ongoing case as it could put the site admin in trouble.

I want the site admin to get in trouble

 

[Cascarino]

Maybe he just eats a lot of liver

We can cause you trouble, don't forget.

Am I going to get my kneecaps broken?

 

[Plant0x84]

It certainly might, he could be looking at a 4 year ban. That would surely be his career over at 30

Bold of you to assume that Penna wouldn't take away your knees completely.

Juventus statement:

Juventus Football Club announces that today, September 11, 2023, the footballer Paul Labile Pogba received a precautionary suspension order from the National Anti-Doping Tribunal following the results of tests carried out on August 20, 2023.

The club reserves the right to consider the next procedural steps.

 

[MonkeysMagic]

Could be worse, he could be a victum of extortion by a family member....!

 

[Baneofthegame]

Really hasn’t gone well for him the past few years.

 

[Oldyella]

How long is left on his contract? Hate the idea of Juve wriggling out of it because of this.

[crossy1686]

How long before someone pops in here and defends him again?

Doesn’t really make a whole lot of sense though? Why would he be on steroids? For recovery purposes? He really shouldn’t be trying to build muscle.

Imagine he was still with us? All we’ve got going on at the moment and then this also? What a mad year, and the season only started last month…

 

[eire-red]

Pogbeast? Pogroids?

There's a good pun in there, I'm sure of it.

 

[Champ]

I blame this on the Glazers.

 

[Mb194dc]

Be surprised if it's intentional. Where's the upside for him? Wasnt even playing, makes no sense.

My money is on stupidity, taking something not approved or possibly some other more nefarious explanation.

[Prodigy24]

I really feel sorry for him the way his career has gone since he left. It all seems so off.

 

[fergieisold]

He’s the definition of a waste of oxygen.

 

[2 man midfield]

Not his biggest fan, far from it, but wish him a speedy transition into the shadow realm

 

[TheRedHearted]

Maybe Penna will take away his knees and give him pogbas knees

Enhanced recovery maybe? Idk

Uncastrated Boar Meat is a firm favourite among sport stars.

Steroids and elevated testosterone can speed up recovery from muscle and bone injuries.

 

[RedCurry]

That thread title sounds really weird. What is an anti-doping offence? Is he banned for stopping others from doping or something?

maybe he’s actually trans and breached the testosterone level?

 

[AndySmith1990]

At least he had the decency to wait until he left United before doing something silly

Not sure Pogba would be munching on pork…

He has never cheated in his career. Was tested multiple times at United with nothing found. He has had worse injuries before and nothing was found. 100% clean history.

My prediction is that someone doesnt want him at Juventus and spiked his drink. He will beat these charges. Just another hurdle to overcome.

 

[Eyepopper]

“My thought process is to show Manchester (United) that they made a mistake in waiting to give me a contract. And to show other clubs that Manchester had made a mistake in not offering me a contract.”

 

[RuudTom83]

If it was to help his body recover then fair enough, football isn't a contact sport (anymore) so he's not getting into a ring to punch someone in the face.

I'm surprised more footballers don't get caught doping tbh...seems like a rarity in football these days.

Stay strong, Ms. Pimenta.

 

[Woodzy]

Whoever put that curse on United obviously must have missed that Pogba doesn’t play for us anymore. Probably got confused looking at Pogba’s transfer history.

Correct and that’s what they are mainly used for.
