Paul Pogba's Doping Suspension Reduced: A Path to Comeback
In a significant turn of events for football star Paul Pogba, the Court of Arbitration for Sport has reduced his doping suspension from four years to just eighteen months. This decision, announced on October 4, 2024, allows the Juventus midfielder to return to training in January 2025 and compete again by March 2025. The reduction has sparked hope for Pogba, who has been suspended since August 2023 after testing positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) following a match against Udinese.
Pogba, who boasts an impressive record of 91 caps and 11 goals for the French national team, took to social media to express his eagerness to return. His post featured a photo of his cleats adorned with the French team's iconic socks, symbolizing his commitment to the sport and his dream of rejoining Les Bleus. As the 2026 World Cup approaches, the possibility of Pogba's return to the national team becomes increasingly plausible, especially with the recent retirement of key players like Antoine Griezmann.
