The bad news for Paul Pogba is he is going to be away from football for four years which means his professional career is over and there's no hope for him anymore.
~snip~
He is going to be 31 on 15th of March this year. With 4 years out, he'll be 35 and I'm not sure how his motivation will be then. This might be it, for his playing career. Already he's been injury prone and barely playing a season. This only makes things much much worse. He was caught taking testosterone and usually, the plea deal would've been half the time, that'd be 2 years. Which would be the same for accidental intake. Don't know why he didn't go through those methods.
Based on his statement I think getting an appeal as he has done is good if it turns out well for him I believe the years can be reduced or he can still get away with the ban but if he doesn't he may decide to retire after the ban considering what he may be think then or he can still decide to beat the imagination of his fans by playing may be 2 to 3 season before his retirement but that will be dependent on how his injury case may be then if he's free from injury he can still secure a contract with big clubs cause he's a good player.
