France star Paul Pogba has been given a four-year ban from football by Italy’s anti-doping tribunal after testing positive for testosterone last August, his club Juventus said yesterday.
Pogba announced he would appeal the ruling, “When I am free of legal restrictions the full story will become clear, but I have never knowingly or deliberately taken any supplements that violate anti-doping regulations. I will appeal this before the Court of Arbitration for Sport.”
The ban means Pogba will not be able to play again until the 2027/28 season, by which time he will be 34.

US$614Million is the revenue reported by TKO Group Holdings in its first full quarter after their US$21Billion merger of the UFC and WWE. The breakdown for Q4 in 2023, which ended Dec. 31, was US$282.8M revenue for UFC and US$331.2M for WWE.
For 2024, TKO is targeting revenue of at least US$2.575B. Last month, Netflix signed a 10-year, US$5B media rights deal for WWE’s “Raw”. This year, UFC will be shopping for its next broadcast pact, as its current contract with ESPN expires in 2025.
In rugby league
All eyes are on Las Vegas today where the South Sydney Rabbitohs take on the Sydney Roosters followed by the Brisbane Broncos taking on the Manly Sea Eagles in the NRL Vegas extravaganza. What more is there to say except, “Let’s get it on baby!”
