Stars of the Boss “Al Zaeem” sign an attendance book for the Integrity and Anti-Doping Workshop
In the VIP Hall of Khalifa Bin Zayed Stadium, The UAE ProLeague organized, this evening, the “Integrity and Anti-Doping” workshop for the players of the first and reserve teams, technical and administrative staff, medical staff and members of the two teams, which is considered a basic requirement of the AFC for licensing football clubs, with the aim of raising awareness and education.
The members of the two teams registered a full attendance at the workshop delivered by the Mr. Ghanem Ghawanmeh legal advisor of the UAE pro league, who reviewed, during a period exceeding an hour, the list of regulations and penalties for integrity and anti-doping.
Moreover, Ghawanmeh also reviewed the most prominent global issues related to match-fixing, betting, anti-doping, and the penalties imposed on clubs and football stars throughout the history of the game.
The workshop resulted in several recommendations, after the legal advisor of the UAE pro league reviewed the list of substances banned globally for athletes, the most important of which is to consult the team doctor and advise him on all the details related to therapeutic medications, promote the diet, and avoid taking nutritional supplements from outside the club.
At the conclusion of the workshop, Ghawanmeh called on the players to promote their awareness and culture by reviewing the list of prohibited substances provided by the World Anti-Doping Agency provided in several languages on its official website.
