Paul Pogba agent insist he has not given up on return to the pitch following his failed doping test

France International was charged for failing a doping test and could be banned for some years.

A chemical called DHEA which naturally raises testosterone levels, was discovered in the former Man United player’s system.

The Italian national anti-doping tribunal temporarily suspended Pogba, and he may be subject to a sporting trial to assess the severity of his sentence.

Rafaela Pimenta, Pogba's representative has said that her client is still hopeful about making a comeback to the pitch.

Pogba could be suspended for up to four years after testing positive during his team's August 20 Serie A match against Udinese, which he did not participate in. 

She said as reported by Daily Mail, “He's optimistic and he's a hard worker, he's preparing and when it's possible he's ready.”

Following Pogba's positive test, Pimenta had earlier declared that he had no intention of breaking the law.

The national anti-doping tribunal in Italy banned him for three days as a precautionary measure, and when he requested his B sample, the outcome was the same. 

Pogba is unable to practise with the Juventus team at this time, Instead, he uses the gym and swimming pool to work on a personal programme with his personal trainer. 

Since his move from Manchester United to Juventus in July 2022, Pogba has battled with several injuries.

Pogba has just started one game out of the ten games he participated in last season for Juventus.
