I am not a cheater – Paul Pogba targets France return after reduced doping ban

Paul Pogba has insisted he is not a cheater after his doping ban was reduced earlier this month and targeted a return to the French national team when his suspension expires in March.

Former Manchester United midfielder Pogba was banned for four years in March after being provisially suspended since September last year after he tested positive for dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA).

After a lengthy appeal process, the 31-year-old had his ban reduced to 18 months by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) on October 4 and he can resume his career in March.
