Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has expressed his thoughts on social media following the Court of Arbitration for Sport’s (CAS) decision to cut his doping ban from four years to 18 months, Sky sports reported.
CAS announced on Friday that his suspension would now be effective from September 11, 2023.
Pogba had initially received a four-year ban from the Italian National Anti-Doping Tribunal back in February, which was a significant setback for the Frenchman.
With the reduction, he can look forward to making his competitive return on March 11, 2025, just a few days shy of his 32nd birthday.
