paul Pogba is addressing the challenges he’s faced since his positive anti-doping test, particularly his relationship with Juventus Turin.
The return of the French football star, Paul Pogba, is gaining momentum. He has been preparing in Monaco to resume his career after a nearly two-year absence due to testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) in September 2023. DHEA is a synthetic hormone.
While the Arbitral Tribunal of Sport reduced his suspension to 18 months, he initially faced a four-year ban, which could have ended his career. In a recent interview, the Lagny-sur-Marne native discussed the difficulties he has experienced over the past two years.
“I don’t understand anything. It was very hard. It was something that I was removed when I was not ready. The sentence and the way … it was a shock. Four years at a time for doping, without explanation and without being listened to “he said regarding his initial suspension.
paul Pogba’s Departure from Italy
“I also had to leave Italy as my children were right next to the training center, he continued. I was going to accompany them and I spent every day in front of the stadium. I couldn’t do that anymore. I couldn’t train. It was too hard for me. Do not play football, accompany my children, pass in front of the stadium …My children ask me: ‘Dad,when are you going to play? When can we go to the stadium? ‘ I was telling them soon when I knew it was going to be elaborate. »»
The situation was further complicated by what he felt was a lack of support from Juventus Turin, who he claims refused to provide him with “A physical trainer” or “Care”. “I was not allowed to. They weren’t too much with me. Feel it, it put me on a blow. I didn’t understand why. I told myself that I was at war with anti-doping but not with Juve “, he added.
“I don’t understand anything. It was very hard. It was something that I was removed when I was not ready.”
