Let's talk about something lighter today (Hmm? Is this considered a light topic?)
It is said that Paul Pogba has always been a continuous topic of discussion, and recently, the issue of his being punished with a ban after testing positive in a drug test has been widely known among football fans on the forum. However, in fact, if Pogba had admitted guilt and reached a settlement agreement, he would have been banned for 2 years. Nevertheless, the French midfielder rejected this proposal and chose to appeal, resulting in a 4-year ban.
In response, Pogba issued a statement expressing sadness, shock, and heartbreak over the verdict, as everything he had built in his professional career has been taken away. He firmly asserted that he never intentionally used any substances violating doping regulations and pledged to appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport. Pogba firmly believes that the truth will come out eventually, emphasizing that he would never resort to using banned substances to improve his performance, and of course, he also added that he has never disrespected players or fans who have had similar experiences.
After Pogba's statement was released, several prominent players expressed their support for him, with French national team coach Didier Deschamps voicing strong support. Deschamps said, "I cannot imagine that Pogba had any intention or desire to use doping. I know him well, and I know that such thoughts would never cross his mind." "Given Pogba's achievements with the national team and the relationship we have built, I am obviously not indifferent to his sadness. However, I believe he is innocent."
According to Italian media reports, even if Pogba's appeal is successful, the whole process is expected to take 6 to 7 months. Meanwhile, Pogba has actually vacated his villa in Turin, casting a shadow over his uncertain future. Initially, when I read Pogba's statement, I felt that he seemed truthful, perhaps indicating that he was framed for using banned substances. However, later I heard about Pogba's brother exposing his feud with Mbappe and his story with Manchester United... I feel that Pogba's life is full of drama, and his credibility has greatly diminished. Do you guys feel the same way? Or do you have any thoughts on this? |
