Juventus midfielder Rabiot: Why Pogba delaying ban appeal

Juventus midfielder Adrien Rabiot hopes Paul Pogba's doping case is "reviewed".

The Juve and France midfielder has been handed a four-year ban for failing a doping test. The ruling is set to be appealed by the former Manchester United star's legal team.

Rabiot said at his France media conference: "Pogba? It's a shame what's happening.

"Obviously we're in contact, we talk regularly. He's still in Turin. I know he was waiting to know the exact reasons for the suspension so he could appeal.

"I hope the sanction will be reduced, because from what Paul told me, taking 4 years for this is a bit excessive.

"I hope they review the sanction."
