Juventus 'forced' to dramatically slash Pogba salary due to doping ban

Juventus have been forced to slash Paul Pogba's salary after his failed doping test.

Pogba has been provisionally suspended after testing positive for testosterone.

La Repubblica reports as part of Italian law, Juve must reduce Pogba's salary to a minimum of €42,177.

In other words, it means Pogba will take home around €2,000-a-month during his suspension.

Contrary to reports across Europe, Juve were forced to take the action due to established laws.
