The footballer appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport to challenge his 4-year suspension for doping
Testing positive for testosterone in August 2023 and suspended for four years for doping, Paul Pogba announced on Thursday that he had appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and claims to have “never knowingly or deliberately” taken doping products.
“I was informed today of the decision of the National Anti-Doping Tribunal and I consider that the verdict is incorrect,” wrote the French international on his account Instagram. I am sad, shocked and heartbroken and heartbroken. Everything I built during my professional gaming career was taken away from me. When I am free from legal restrictions the whole story will become clear, but I have never knowingly or deliberately taken any supplements that would violate anti-doping regulations. »
“As a professional athlete, I would never do anything to enhance my performance by using banned substances and I have never disrespected or misled other athletes and supporters of the teams I played for or against. Following the decision announced today, I will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport,” he concluded.
