Juventus has taken the step of suspending Paul Pogba as he faces the possibility of a ban for doping-related offences.
Since his return to Turin last season, the midfielder has seen limited playing time and has often made headlines for the wrong reasons rather than his performances on the pitch. Juventus had hoped for a better season from him, following a lacklustre showing in the previous campaign.
However, the recent revelation of his failed doping test has left the club and its supporters deeply concerned. This development may prompt Juventus to reconsider its relationship with Pogba.
The ultimate fate of his contract remains uncertain pending the outcome of the doping investigation. Notably, a recent report on Tuttomercatoweb has indicated that Pogba’s earnings have been reduced to the minimum wage in Italy. He is reportedly earning a gross monthly salary of 2,180 euros, a situation that will persist until the results of the second analysis of his sample are confirmed.
Should the second test indeed confirm his involvement in doping, Juventus may take more significant measures beyond reducing his salary.
Juve FC Says
Pogba has let us down seriously because we had expected better from him after the last few months.
The midfielder could easily have been made redundant like Leonardo Bonucci, but we trusted him and now he could be gone for a long time.
What negative turn of events, sympathize with Paul.
Sympathy for what? You consult a family doctor before taking medication. He failed to consult the Juve medical staff. Period.
I don’t.. he’s a profesional. Should know better to not taking any kind of substance before consulting to Juve’s medical staff. He’s too wild and it causes so much mess for him. Tbh, i expect a lot from him this season. He’s the best technical player in our squad. Our Juve #10. But it seems he doesnt respect the number he’s wearing on his shirt and doesnt act like the previous #10 legends. What a Shame.
I’m not surprised by the outcome. He didn’t follow the contract he signed (skiing, parties, voodoo witchdoctors, refusing a surgery when he needed it and still ended up doing it, the extortion scandal, etc etc etc). Because of his actions he missed in theory the entire last season while pocketing 8M a season.
He failed to discuss taking new medication with the Juve medical staff (which is a breach of contract).
He let down his club, his fans and his country (now a second time, since earlier he refused to undergo surgery and missed the WC).
So tellme, why should we have sympathy for him?
There was a time when I saw him as the future leader of Juve, just like Nedved, Zidane, Alex del Piero, Buffon, Chiellini.
We waited for his comeback, but it looks like he cared more about partying, new haircut and enjoying life than the people that cared for him.
Agree
Good decision!
