'Paul Pogba is not finished' - Juventus midfielder vows to 'fight injustice' of four-year doping ban as he emphatically rules out retirement after meeting up with France squad at Euro 2024

Champions League

Aston Villa

Juventus

<p>The World Cup winner failed a standard doping test in August 2023, with a B sample also coming back positive. As a result, he was <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-pogba-banned-four-years-juventus-midfielder-punished-doping-scandal/blt729c25135d5cdecf#csc8738a8edfd84ab7" target="_blank">stung with a lengthy suspension from all football-related activity</a>. Pogba is taking his appeal against that ruling to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Pogba is being <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/paul-pogba-wife-zulay-all-smiles-italian-getaway-juventus-star-four-year-doping-suspension/blt631c099d80316f8e" target="_blank">prevented from doing his day job</a> at present and recently figured in a video in which he claimed to be “dead” professionally. The 31-year-old claims that production was poorly edited, with his career far from being over. Pogba has told <a href="https://sport.sky.it/calcio/serie-a/2024/07/02/pogba-sky-sport-contratto-juventus-video " target="_blank"><em>Sky Sport Italia</em></a>: “If you don’t see a video where I say that I am stopping with football it’s because I am still a football player. I am still here, still positive, I have an opportunity to fight what in my view is an injustice. We’ll see, things will go better. I don’t know if you saw the whole interview, but they only put up a part of it were I hadn’t even finished speaking yet. Pogba is not finished, Pogba is here and until you see me say I'm finished, don't worry. I still feel like a player, I am training and in these moments I must only be positive. I am spending a lot of time with my family, seeing my kids grow up. I am not doing what I love, which is football, but I am really eager to get back. I am so eager, I feel like a kid who wants to be a professional.”</p>

WHAT POGBA SAID

<p>Pogba is <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/10m-per-year-2k-a-month-paul-pogba-wage-cut-juventus-failed-drugs-test/blt835aee47031065a4" target="_blank">working on the lowest possible salary at Juventus</a>, as he cannot train or play for them, but reports of his contract being terminated on June 30 proved to be wide of the mark. The France international, who was<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/why-paul-pogba-attendance-france-euro-2024-belgium-despite-doping-ban-explained/blt351b4fdeb7538a04" target="_blank"> in attendance to watch his country battle past Belgium in the last-16 of Euro 2024</a> and visited the squad after the game, added on his future at club level: “From the last I heard, I am still a Juventus player and I think you’d have to ask them. I have a contract, I have not been able to talk yet to the director or the coach, there is silence… I think they are waiting for the appeal. As for the rest, you’d have to ask them.”</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Pogba’s ban is due to run until 2027 as things stand. The former Manchester United star hopes he will be back on the field long before then, but there are a number of legal hurdles to clear before he can lace up a pair of boots.</p>
