DESPITE being hit by a 4-year ban for doping, France and Juventus midfielder, Paul Pogba has dismissed suggestions that he could retire from professional football soon.
The 31-year-old former Manchester United midfielder has not played since August 2023 as he was suspended earlier this year after testing positive for doping twice (the A sample and then the B sample).
Pogba, who is hoping to see his suspension reduced to a two-year ban by taking his case to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS), has noted that he won't be forced to retire as he wants to continue to fight and get back on the pitch.
“I want to fight this, for me, injustice. An interview has come out, I don’t know if you’ve seen it all, they put something that … I hadn’t finished talking,” Pogba told Sky Italia.
“Pogba isn’t finished, Pogba is here and until you see me say that I’m finished, don’t worry. I have an incredible desire to come back, I feel like a child who wants to be professional. I train, I do everything I can to get back on the pitch,” he added.
The 2018 World Cup winner still has a contract with Juventus as the club is waiting for the outcome of the appeal before deciding on the player.
