P. Pogba: I am shocked © AP

On Thursday, Turin's "Juventus" defender Paul Pogba heard some very unpleasant news.

The world champion was disqualified for four years for using banned substances, which means almost the end of his career.

While "Juventus" club is preparing to say goodbye to the 30-year-old Frenchman, the player himself will appeal and complain to the International Court of Arbitration for Sport.

Commenting on the decision of the Italian anti-doping institution, P. Pogba said:

"I am shocked, saddened, and heartbroken - everything I built during my professional career has been taken away from me.

When I am free from all legal restrictions, I will reveal the whole truth, but I can assure you that I never knowingly took any supplements that are banned by anti-doping institutions," said P. Pogba.
