Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba has been suspended after failing a doping test.

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.

The Frenchman was an unused substitute for the game.

Juventus said in a statement: "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."

Testosterone is a hormone that increases the endurance of athletes.

If guilty, the former Manchester United midfielder faces a 2-4 year ban. He has three days to produce a counter-analysis of the Nado result.
