[ad_1]

France national football coach Didier Deschamps expressed sadness on Thursday after Paul Pogba was handed a four-year ban for doping.

Pogba was suspended from action on September 11 after testing positive for a banned substance in August last year.

The Juventus midfielder denied the allegations and said he would appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.

But Deschamps believes Pogba did not intentionally use banned substances and said he knew the former Manchester United player well and said his situation in recent months had been extremely difficult. .

“I don't think for a second that Pogba intended to dope or wanted to dope,” Deschamps said, as quoted by L'Equipe.

“As with the verdict announced by Italy's anti-doping court on Thursday, what Paul has gone through over the past few months has been extremely difficult, and given his actions with the national team and his relationships, I “We cannot remain indifferent to his pain” was formed together with the French national team.

“His situation saddens me, but I really hope things work out.”
