What really happened?

As said earlier, the doping test was performed after Juve's victory against Udinese and it detected elevated levels of testosterone, a hormone that increases players endurance.

The anti-doping agency, Nado Italia informed that Pogba was suspended provisionally with immediate effect. He's going to be at a trial and testing of a backup "B" sample, he would risk a suspension of up to four years.

Juventus released an official statement acknowledging the failed result of the test and said they were considering their next steps.

Pogba's time at Juventus is affected by a lot of injuries. He hardly played for the club, let alone giving any significant performance and now it's on the verge of getting worse for the Frenchman.

He was ruled out of France's 2022 World Cup squad due to a knee injury and has managed to make only six Serie A matches for Juventus last season.

Another Paul Pogba News would be, Pogba has yet to start a game this season but has made two substitute appearances, last playing in the 2-0 win at Empoli.

There's also been a police investigation ongoing in France into allegations that Pogba was targeted by extortionists - including by his older brother, Mathias, who has denied any wrongdoing.

It's also going to be a huge blow to an already heavily affected Juventus side in terms of not getting European Football this season. The previous season was followed by inquiries into false accounting and irregular reporting of salary payments which ultimately resulted in points deduction.
