The illegal substance Paul Pogba tested positive for has been revealed.

The Juventus midfielder is facing a four-year ban after a counter-analysis confirmed the original failed doping test.

It's now been revealed the banned Dehydroepiandrosterone, DHEA, was the substance involved. DHEA boosts testosterone.

Agent Rafaela Pimenta has insisted Pogba "never intended to break the rules".

The midfielder's legal team are now preparing their defence as Pogba faces a suspension hearing.
