Paul Pogba was allegedly given the tablets by a “health guru” who had worked with Kendall Jenner, which resulted in his failing a drugs test and four-year suspension.
The banned chemical DHEA, which increases testosterone, was detected in the World Cup-winning Frenchman’s blood following Juventus’ opening match of the 2023–24 season. A lengthy suspension has since been imposed against him, but the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has receive an appeal against that decision.
According to Daily Mail, 10X Health Systems, a wellness company based in the United States, is accused of manufacturing the pills that caused Pogba to violate doping laws. At least one of the bottles that has gotten Pogba into trouble bears the name 10X Health Systems on it, placing Gary Brecka and Carrie Carda at the core of the controversy.
The Mail claims there is photographic evidence of that, with the 31-year-old claiming to have taken a course of tablets that were prescribed to him to help address certain deficiencies in his body. Pogba claims that Carda administered the pills in questions following his initial consultation with Brecka, while Carda “prescribed” other medication.
Brecka, who has been billed as a “celebrity health guru”, has been pictured with David Beckham and Cristiano Ronaldo in the past, while also working with a number of other high-profile clients that are said to include NFL and UFC stars, model and businesswoman Jenner and music producer P Diddy.
