Kiungo wa timu ya Juventus, Paul Pogba, mwenye umri wa miaka 30, amesimamishwa kucheza kandanda kwa muda baada ya kukutwa na kosa la kutumia dawa za kusisimua misuli. Uamuzi huo umechukuliwa na Mahakama ya Kitaifa ya Italia yenye dhima ya kupambana na matumizi ya dawa za kuongeza nguvu mwilini.
Aidha, mahakama hiyo imesema Pogba alifanyiwa vipimo baada ya ushindi wa timu yake ya Juventus dhidi ya Udinese kwa mabao 3-0 mnamo Agosti 20, na majibu yalidhihirisha kuwa mchezaji huyo wa Ufaransa, ambaye hakushiriki mechi hiyo, alikuwa na viwango vya juu vya homoni ya "testosterone."
Pia, iwapo Pogba atapatikana na hatia ya kutumia dawa za kusisimua misuli, anaweza kupigwa marufuku kushiriki kandanda kwa muda wa miaka miwili hadi minne.

Paul Pogba SUSPENDED by anti-doping chiefs after ‘testing positive for testosterone after Juventus’ 1st game of season’
PAUL POGBA has been provisionally suspended by anti-doping chiefs.
That's after reportedly failing a drugs test, with the midfielder potentially facing a four-year ban if found guilty of testing positive for testosterone.
Corriere Della Serra claims traces of testosterone were discovered in Pogba's system following Juventus' first game of the new season.
The ex-Man United midfielder, 30, was an unused sub in his side's 3-0 win against Udinese last month.
Pogba is yet to comment, but the Frenchman has now been handed a provisional suspension by Italian anti-doping chiefs.
A statement read: "The National Anti-Doping Tribunal announces that, in acceptance of the request proposed by the National Anti-Doping Prosecutor's Office, it has taken steps to suspend the athlete Paul Pogba on a precautionary basis for violation of articles 2.1 and 2.2.
"Substance Detected: Testosterone metabolites of non-endogenous origin."
Pogba's club Juventus acknowledged the provisional ban, saying: "Juventus Football Club announces that today, September 11, 2023, the footballer Paul Labile Pogba received a precautionary suspension order from the National Anti-Doping Tribunal following the results of tests carried out on August 20, 2023.
"The club reserves the right to consider the next procedural steps."
Pogba's agent Rafaela Pimenta added to Tuttosport: “We’re waiting for the counter-analysis and we can’t say anything now.
“For sure, Pogba never wanted to bend the rules — I can guarantee that."
Testosterone is a hormone which can increase muscle strength and is found in various over-the-counter products at pharmacies.
It occurs naturally in men. Tests on athletes look for synthetic forms of testosterone in their systems.
It's said Pogba now has three days to provide a sample for a counter-analysis.
If found guilty of doping, several Italian news outlets all claim Pogba faces a ban of up to two years.
And if a tribunal finds him guilty of taking the product intentionally, the ban could last up to four years.
Pogba rejoined former side Juventus in a free transfer last summer following the expiration of his Man United contract.
But injuries limited him to just ten appearances in all competitions.
He's featured twice from the bench this term since sitting out the Udinese win.
Pogba's last appearance came earlier this month in Juventus' 2-0 win at Empoli.
However, boss Max Allegri claimed afterwards that the French World Cup winner had suffered a fresh back injury.
He said: "Pogba felt a pain in the back, we'll see what the exams say. Too bad because it [Pogba's performance] went well."
Earlier this week, Pogba told Al Jazeera that he had been considering retirement following an alleged extortion plot involving his brother Mathias.
Pogba said: "Money changes people. … It can break up a family. It can create a war.
"Sometimes I was just by myself thinking, 'I don't want to have money anymore. I just don't want to play anymore'.
