At 30 years old a four year ban would be as well being a life ban either way his top flight football days are over as i doubt many of the big clubs will take a chance on a 34/35 year old Pogba who has not played in 4 years.

@@mathistruth9105 I didn't even think about that to be honest. I think it's debated if Steroids are Haram. Because they aren't technically intoxicants and occur in the body. I guess abusing them for non medical reasons counts. (I'm not a Muslim)

Pogbas downfall is so sad. He genuinely had all the potential to be one of the greatest midfielders of all time. He was unbelievable at juventus from 2012-2016. His sublime vision, his amazing dribbling, his shooting from long range and so much more. He went to manchester united at a time when the club was unstable, he started to get a lot of injury problems and the environment of manchester united wasnt right for him and a lot of the time the managers didnt know how to get the best out of Pogba. He then returned to Juventus but his injury problems only got worse, I personally wouldve loved to see him play so that his career and confidence can be relaunched but his injury problems only worsened and now doping scandal has added fuel to the fire. Despite being pivotal in frances 2018 world cup success, Pogba never reached his full potential. Its so sad and now he might as well retire.

I said it then and still say it now Madrid was the move, Pogba would have been managed and learn from the goat Zizou, made bank and win everything. He chose Utd for the money cus going there over Madrid makes 0 footballing sense… what a sad ending to what could of been an incredible career

What has boxing got to do with football, a boxer would get 4 years as well if caught taken drugs. It's nothing to do with people being killed, it's to do with taken drugs to cheat.

[@BijouBakson]

Tyson Fury, Dillian White, and Big Baby Miller, just to name 3, all have gotten back to boxing within 3 years for doping on PED, for a sport where people actually hit each other to death. It's got everything to do with everything. Pogba got incapacitated due to an illness or failure of his bodily/muscular functions affecting his ability to play. We saw him struggle to recover and return to the team. If you think he did that just because he wanted to "cheat" then you probably hated him before he was even subject to this and you are here to put the nail in the coffin, in which case, you don't deserve to speak to me. I can't stand haters.@2trick

[@turbo8628]

@@Bpg5012trick no, boxers get banned amd end up foghting in different countries. Pogba has been banned in every top european league as far as i can tell, potentially all leagues (although i couldn't say for sure). Boxing doping bans are relevant for that reason, but i agree that the other point is kinda moot cos it doesn't really matter what the stakes are in the sport, doping is doping.
