Midfielder Paul Pogba He admitted that his career would have ended if, due to doping, he had been disqualified for four years, as required by the original version of the punishment. After the appeal, the term was reduced to 18 months.
If I received four years, I would stop playing football. I didn’t want to talk about it publicly, but that seemed to me.
I picked up the ball and played alone in the street. I did what I had to. However, I didn’t want to stay in Turin. In the morning, I took the kids to school, and it was right next to the training ground, it hurt a lot…
I didn’t understand (why they gave me four years). For what? They gave me the maximum term, which means they didn’t listen to anything I said.
Everything that happened to me changed me. I realized what a “real” life is. It was like a complete cleansing. I suddenly matured for ten years.
