France world cup winner and Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has been provisionally suspended from playing because of an anti-doping offence.

Italy's national anti-doping tribunal (Nado) said Pogba returned a test with elevated levels of testosterone after Juve's 3-0 win at Udinese on 20 August, reports BBC.  

If found guilty of doping, he could face a ban of between two and four years.

In a statement Juventus said, "Juventus Football Club announces that today, 11 September, 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 20 August, 2023. The club reserves the right to consider the next procedural steps."
