Pogba assures fans he’s not quitting football amidst doping ban

Paul Pogba has assured he is still “a Juventus player” despite a four-year doping ban, which he is currently appealing.

Recall the France international failed a doping test during a Serie A match on August 20, 2023, and his explanation for the presence of the banned substance was deemed insufficient.

Pogba, who has no intention of retiring from football anytime soon, expressed his thoughts to Sky Sport Italia after France’s 1-0 win over Belgium in the Euro 2024 Round of 16.

“I am very happy to see and feel the love of the people. I have not been on the pitch for a while, so hearing the people sing my name was really pleasing,” Pogba said.

On quitting football, the midfielder said, “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, and have an opportunity to fight what, in my view, is an injustice. We’ll see; things will get better,” he added.
