Multiple outlets in Italy claim that a substance reportedly taken by Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba that may have led to his failing a routine doping test would have contained an information pack warning of the potential risks. 

Over the weekend, news broke that Pogba had failed a doping test following the Bianconeri’s 3-0 win over Udinese on the opening weekend of Serie A fixtures, with results showing an elevated level of testosterone in his system. The Frenchman has since been suspended by the club. 

Both Tuttosport and La Gazzetta dello Sport suggest that Pogba is likely to have taken a vitamin integrator while in the United States over the summer. 

Both outlets also claim that the substance taken by Pogba would have contained a clearly visible warning over the potential risks. 

The supplement was reportedly recommended to Pogba by a medical professional close to his family, but not one that was connected to Juventus. 

La Gazzetta has also previously reported that Pogba did not consult Juventus with his decision to take the supplement, an enormous oversight, which would lead to the end of his time with the club if counter-analysis also comes back positive. 

Multiple reports claim that if the results do come back positive again, Juventus would have a right to terminate Pogba’s contract, which currently runs until the summer of 2026.
