The 31-year-old has been banned for four years as a result of a positive doping test he took in connection with a match against Udinese last August.
The Juventus star’s doping test showed traces of testosterone that was not produced naturally in the body, and according to several media, it is a substance called DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) that he has taken.
Pogba has announced that he will appeal the verdict to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).

On Thursday, he appeared on a film set in Paris, in connection with the filming of the film 4 Zeros, writes Le Parisien.

Several of the scenes in the film are said to have been recorded during the Ligue 1 match between PSG and Rennes earlier this year.
Pogba is said to have taken the time to take selfies and sign autographs like the youngsters who had gathered at the football pitch where the scenes were filmed.
According to the newspaper, he is still in good shape and lives in the hope that he will have his sentence reduced in Cas.
