Paul Pogba, a French soccer player, was banned for four years. Pogba was a high-level athlete until he was banned for cheating. He was caught while he was forced to do a drug test. The test told them he was using a substance to boost his testosterone levels. Rio Ferdinand, an official who was doing the drug test said “I am well placed to sit here and chat about this because I have been through this,’ Ferdinand said. “I am not going to jump in straight away and say he is guilty as I have been in this position and I know Paul, I need to hear from him and see some facts.”

He was caught with Juventus. Juventus is a major team in the Italian league. Rolando used to play for them. The Italian authorities have apprehended him as of now, and he is banned. But let’s get into how he did it. In this case, Pogba was caught using a substance injected into his bloodstream. to make his lungs and muscles work better. Also when an athlete’s blood does the oxygen in the blood makes the blood circulate faster. This improves your breathing and endurance.

This has been caught in many other athletes such as Duncan Atwood, a famous javelin thrower. Also substances for enhancing performance. made the Russian Olympic team banned for a number of years. So although substance is common Pogba’s case is a big scandal. Getting banned for 4 years when you are already 30 years old means retirement is close. You’re not able to stay up with the high levels and you can still train. But what team would still want you?
