Paul Pogba faces 4 years football ban after being tested positive of drugs

Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba says he is sad, shocked and heartbroken after being banned from football for four years for a doping offence.

Pogba was provisionally suspended in September after a drugs test found elevated levels of testosterone in his system.

He says everything he has built in his professional career has been taken away from him and he would appeal.

Pogba was randomly tested after Juventus' first match of the season on 20 August.

The positive test was confirmed by Italy's national anti-doping tribunal in a second sample in October, and the anti-doping prosecutor's office requested a four-year suspension.
