Paul Pogba cries for joy: new beginning at AS Monaco after doping ban!
In an emotional return, Paul Pogba signed a new contract with AS Monaco on Saturday, valid until June 30, 2027. The former world champion is returning to professional football after an 18-month doping ban. During the signing ceremony, Pogba could not hold back his tears, a sign of the immense importance of this moment in his career. He last appeared on the pitch for Juventus Turin in September 2023 before a doping incident abruptly stopped his career. This reports nau.ch.
The doping ban, which was originally four years, was reduced to 18 months by the International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) because Pogba had not intentionally doped. The reason for the positive sample was a high testosterone level, which was detected during a test in August 2023. The B sample confirmed the result, which ultimately led to his suspension. After Juventus terminated his contract in November 2024, Pogba was without a club until Monaco offered him the opportunity to make his comeback, it is reported spiegel.de.
The way back into the spotlight
Pogba has already experienced numerous ups and downs in his career. After starting out at Manchester United, where he attracted attention as a teenager, he played for Juventus, among others, where he was last active in the last years of his career. His 91 caps for France testify to his talent and importance in international football. Returning to AS Monaco could not only boost his personal career, but also the club's sporting ambitions, reports rnd.de.
AS Monaco officials are optimistic about Pogba's influence on the team. A club representative encouraged the player and emphasized that he was in the right place. This kind of support could help Pogba put the challenges of the past few months behind him and get back to top form.
Pogba is now beginning a new phase of his career in Ligue 1 and the football world will be watching with interest to see how this unique player fights his way back into the spotlight.
