Lausanne, Oct 7: The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has confirmed the decision to uphold the appeal filed by Paul Pogba against the decision by the Italian Anti-Doping Agency in which he was found to have committed an Anti-Doping Rule Violation (ADRV) and has had his ban reduced to 18 months.
Pogba’s violation was classified under ‘non-endogenous testosterone metabolites’ by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA)) and sanctioned with a four-year period of ineligibility commencing In September 2023 and a fine of 5,000 Euros.
The CAS Panel in charge of the matter partiallyy upheld the appeal filed by Paul Pogba. It has confirmed the ADRV but reduced the sanction imposed on the Player to 18 months of ineligibility, commencing in September 2023, and cancelled the fine.
“The CAS Panel based its decision on the evidence and legal arguments made that Mr Pogba’s ingestion of DHEA, the substance for which he tested positive, was not intentional and was the result of erroneously taking a supplement prescribed to him by a medical doctor in Florida”. (IANS)
