Paul Pogba’s Doping Ban Reduced to 18 Months

Paul Pogba’s four-year doping ban has been reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), meaning he can return to football earlier than expected. He will be allowed to start training with Juventus in January 2025 and play in official matches by March.
Pogba was originally suspended on September 11, 2023, after testing positive for DHEA, a substance that boosts testosterone. However, CAS ruled that DHEA only affects women and that Pogba’s use of it was accidental. This decision also canceled his €5,000 fine. Football pundit Fabrizio Romano confirmed Pogba’s return in 2025, while Pogba has always denied using banned substances on purpose.

Anthony Joshua has hinted that he could hang up his gloves in 2025, marking the end of a 12-year professional boxing career.

Guardiola Says He Will Take a Long Break From Football After Leaving Man City

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has confirmed he’ll be stepping away from football for a long break once his time at the club ends. The 54-year-old, who has led City to 18 trophies, including six Premier League titles and a Champions League win, says he plans to prioritise his health after years in the dugout.
Guardiola, who joined the club in 2016, revealed in an interview with GQ Spain that taking a break is not just an idea, but a firm decision. “I’m definitely going to stop after this chapter with City,” he said. “It’s already decided. I just don’t know how long—maybe a year, maybe five, maybe even more. But I need time to take care of myself.” His current contract runs until 2027.
