Pogba’s agent reacts to ban

As Paul Pogba continue to trend, the footballer’s agent, Rafaela Pimenta, in a latest statement has insisted that the Juventus midfielder “never wanted to break the rules”.

Pimenta made this known via a statement she issued after the France midfielder was ‘provisionally’ suspended for failing an anti-doping test.

After a Serie A fixture with Udinese, Pogba was found to have tested positive for testosterone, which is a banned substance.

Following the discovery, Pogba was handed three days to respond to the charge.

But Pimenta said on Wednesday night: “We are waiting for the counter analysis and until then we can’t say anything.

“The certain thing is that Paul Pogba never wanted to break the rules.”

Meanwhile, Pogba is facing a four-year ban if it was discovered it was intentional.

Recall that Pogba returned to Italian Seria A with Juventus after he left Man Utd in 2022.
