World Cup winner Paul Pogba's doping suspension has been reduced to 18 months from an initial four years, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Friday.
"The suspension is now 18 months, starting Sept. 11, 2023," CAS director general Matthieu Reeb told Reuters.
The decision means that the former France international will be eligible to make a return to competitive football in March 2025.
Pogba, 31, has not played since August 2023 after he tested positive for testosterone following Juventus' Serie A game against Udinese.
He was provisionally suspended by Italy's national anti-doping (NADO Italia) tribunal in September that year before being handed a four-year ban in February 2024.
