Paul Pogba was initially handed a four-year ban from football after testing positive for testosterone metabolites in September 2023.
Pogba denied any wrongdoing and pledged to challenge the ban at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
The substance found in Pogba's system was dehydropiandrosterone (DHEA), which promotes the production of hormones including testosterone.
Pogba's appeal began after he was provisionally suspended in September 2023 following a positive test.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) reduced Pogba's four-year ban to 18 months.
Pogba can resume training with Juventus as early as January 2025.
Pogba will be eligible to play in competitive matches by March 2025.
Pogba remains under contract with Juventus until 2026 and will be available for selection for the team later this season.
Despite the ban, Pogba has been diligently maintaining his fitness regimen under the guidance of a personal trainer at his residence in Turin.
Pogba attended France's match against Belgium and rejoiced with his ex-teammates in the dressing room following their triumph, underscoring his enduring connection to the sport.
The reduction in Pogba's ban means he can return to professional football sooner than expected, potentially providing a significant boost to Juventus' squad depth and midfield options for the latter part of the season.
