PAUL POGBA has reportedly tested positive for doping.
Corriere Della Serra claims traces of testosterone were discovered in Pogba’s system following Juventus’ first game of the new season.
Neither Pogba or Juventus are yet to comment.
The former Manchester United midfielder, 30, was an unused sub in his side’s 3-0 win against Udinese last month.
Testosterone is a hormone which can increase muscle strength and is found in various over-the-counter products at pharmacies.
If found guilty of doping, Pogba faces a ban of up to two years.

And if a tribunal finds him guilty of taking the product intentionally, a 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.
