Paul Pogba’s four-year ban for a doping offence has been reduced to 18 months after winning his appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas).<\/b><\/p>\n

Sources close to the 31-year-old Juventus midfielder told BBC Sport he can resume training in January 2025 and will be eligible to play again from March.<\/p>\n

France international Pogba was suspended<\/a> by Italy’s national anti-doping tribunal (Nado) in February after a drugs test found elevated levels of testosterone – a hormone that increases endurance – in his system.<\/p>\n

Cas director general Matthieu Reeb confirmed to Reuters the ban had been reduced to 18 months from 11 September, 2023.<\/p>\n

Former Manchester United midfielder Pogba took his case to Cas and gave evidence in person at a hearing earlier this summer.<\/p>\n

He previously said he would “never knowingly or deliberately” dope and believed the verdict was “incorrect”.<\/p>\n

Had the original ban stood, 2018 World Cup winner Pogba would have been unable to play until 2027, when he will be 34.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
