CAS statement confirms Pogba's appeal upheld and successful, Paul Vegas reports

The CAS panel declared today that their decision to clear Mr. Pogba of any wrongdoing was based on the evidence and legal arguments which suggested that his ingestion of DHEA, the substance for which he tested positive, was not intentional.

The drug was prescribed to him by a doctor from Florida who "treated several high-level US and international athletes, was knowledgeable and was supposed to respect Mr Pogba's anti-doping obligations under the World Anti-Doping Code".

Pogba's actions were classified as gross negligence by NADO Italia, but the CAS has now disagreed and reduced the penalty.
