In the final judgement of the Court of Arbitration for Sport (Cas) it was confirmed Pogba inadvertently took dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), a substance which boosts testosterone and is on the World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) banned list.<\/p>\n

Crucially, however, the ruling stated DHEA only has an effect on females.<\/p>\n

Pogba started out at Manchester United before moving to Juventus, where he won Serie A in each of his first four seasons – including two Doubles.<\/p>\n

He then returned to Old Trafford for a world-record \u00a389m<\/a> in 2016, and in his first season won the Europa League and FA Cup.<\/p>\n

Pogba, who has 91 caps for France, then helped Les Bleus to 2018 World Cup glory, scoring in the final as they beat Croatia 4-2 in Russia.<\/a><\/p>\n

Injuries and a lack of form interrupted his final three seasons at Manchester United, and he failed to excel on his return as a free agent to Juve.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
