In response, former Manchester United midfielder Pogba declared today: "Today I was informed of the decision of the National Anti-Doping Tribunal and I believe that the sentence is wrong.
"I am sad, shocked and heartbroken. Everything I have built in my career as a professional player has been removed. When I am free from legal restrictions the whole story will be clear, but I have never knowingly or deliberately taken supplements that violate anti-doping regulations."
He added: "As a professional athlete I would never do anything to improve my performance by using banned substances and I have never disrespected or cheated other athletes and fans of any of the teams I played for or against.
"As a result of the decision announced today I will appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport."
