General Topology, chapter VIII, § 1. Complex numbers, quaternions

From what has been proved it follows that the spheres S1S_1 and SnS_n can carry a group structure compatible with their topology. We shall see later that, for each integer nn other than 1 and 3, there exists no group structure on SnS_n compatible with the topology of SnS_n.

Bourbaki puts the proof directly after the statement, so what is above is the statement and its proof together.
