Vietnam U23 players are not afraid of doping tests at the Asian Finals

VFF always ensures the best medical care for teams when participating in international competitions.

According to Dr. Nguyen Trong Thuy, who is in charge of the medical work of the Vietnam U23 team during the competition at the 2018 AFC U23 Championship, doping tests for players are a mandatory regulation that has been included in the tournament's regulations to ensure honesty and fairness in sports competitions in general and football in particular.

Specifically, after each match, AFC will randomly draw 2 players from the list of 23 players of each team (regardless of starting or reserve) to conduct doping tests and will not exclude them for the next matches. This means that a player who has been tested for doping in the previous match can still continue to be tested for doping in the next match if the Organizing Committee draws the correct name.

They are Truong Van Thai Quy, Nguyen Quang Hai (after the match with U23 Korea) and Nguyen Van Hoang, Pham Xuan Manh (after the match with U23 Australia).

The U23 Vietnam team has absolutely no concerns about doping tests at the 2018 AFC U23 Championship because medical work has been and is being ensured very well.

Vietnam U23 players are guaranteed not to violate AFC's doping regulations.

In addition to ensuring the health of players, coaching staff and other team members, the medical department also strictly complies with international anti-doping regulations, closely cooperating with AFC to ensure good implementation of doping-related regulations in the tournament regulations.

At the same time, players are also required to only use medicines and recovery support products when and only when permitted by the team doctor.

With strict procedures and careful medical work, it can be affirmed that U23 Vietnam is not afraid of doping tests at the 2018 AFC U23 Championship.
