Paul Pogba has tested positive for testosterone in counter-analysis on a second sample.
The former Manchester United midfielder was provisionally suspended on September 11 this year due to an anti-doping offence.
The France international tested positive for testosterone – a hormone that increases athletes’ endurance – in a random drugs test following Juventus’ Serie A game against Udinese on August 20, when he was an unused substitute.
After the results of a counter-analysis came back as positive, Pogba risks a suspension of up to four years.
Sky Sports News have contacted Pogba’s representatives for comment.
