ROME — Paul Pogba's backup "B" sample has also tested positive for testosterone and the Juventus midfielder now faces a doping investigation. The exams were carried out by Nado Italia. Italy's anti-doping agency suspended Pogba provisionally nearly a month ago following a positive test carried out after Juventus' game at Udinese on Aug. 20. Pogba did not play in the Serie A match but was on Juve's bench. Pogba remains suspended provisionally and risks a ban of up to four years. Neither Pogba nor Juventus has publicly contested the results of the tests. Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri says "I'm sorry for Paul."
