Transport United FC Hosts Anti-Doping Seminar to Foster Clean Sport Culture

Transport United FC Hosts Anti-Doping Seminar to Foster Clean Sport Culture Thimphu, April 29 – In a committed effort to uphold the principles of fair play and athlete health, Transport United FC organized an extensive Anti-Doping Program today for its players and technical team. The event was held at the Hotel Riverside in Thimphu and featured Nima Gyeltshen from the Bhutan Anti-Doping Committee as the resource person. This proactive initiative is part of the club’s ongoing dedication to ensuring that all team members are fully aware of and compliant with anti-doping regulations. The program aimed to educate participants about the types of doping tests, the official Anti-Doping Rule Violations, the testing process, and the severe consequences of testing positive, including the potential to end an athlete’s career. Highlighting real-world examples, Gyeltshen discussed cases of international athletes whose careers were adversely affected due to failing doping tests. He emphasized the risks associated with inadvertent doping, often a result of carelessness or lack of awareness about the contents of common medications. Gyeltshen noted, “While there is no pill for every ill, there is an ill following every pill,” underscoring the dangers of uninformed medication use. An important focus of the session was on the Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) process, which allows athletes to use prohibited substances under strict regulatory approval for legitimate medical needs, as per the World Anti-Doping Code (WADC) 2021. The club’s initiative not only aims to safeguard the health of its players but also to cultivate a culture of integrity and transparency in sports. By equipping its team with knowledge and resources, Transport United FC is taking significant steps towards promoting a clean and competitive sporting environment.

Singye Nindak Wangyal

Singye Nindak Wangyal, Rising Star

Singye Nindak Wangyal, Rising Star at Transport United We are happy to introduce Singye Nindak Wangyal, the promising substitute goalkeeper for Transport United FC. At just 18 years old, Singye has already made significant strides both on and off the football field. A recent graduate from Hebron School in Ooty, India, Singye is preparing to further his education abroad, specializing in Hospitality Management and Tourism. Singye’s passion for sports ignited early, captivated by football at the tender age of four. By six, he had begun his journey in football, inspired by the dynamic plays he saw on TV. His affinity for the goalkeeper position was influenced by his skills in basketball, believing his ability to grip the ball would serve him well on the football field. Debuting at just 15 during the President Club tournament in 2021, Singye became the youngest player not only in the tournament but also within Transport United. Despite his age, he showcased his skills in a memorable game against Sherubtse College. Family plays a pivotal role in Singye’s life. He regards his parents as his main sources of inspiration and support, while his younger brother remains his biggest fan, continually motivating him to excel. Internationally, Singye looks up to Emiliano Martínez, the Argentine goalkeeper, for inspiration. Locally, he admires Hari Gurung, from whom he has learned invaluable lessons on and off the pitch. Singye’s philosophy is that education and sports are crucial for holistic development. He values the discipline, teamwork, and leadership skills he has gained from football, which complement his academic pursuits. Despite the assumptions some may have about his journey into Transport United due to his father’s presidency of the club, Singye is quick to clarify that his place on the team was earned through hard work and determination. His father’s advice has been clear: respect and a place on the team must be earned through commitment and performance. Looking forward to the BOB Premier League 2024, starting on May 11th, Singye is eager to contribute to the team. While he has spent much time as a substitute, he views this role as an educational opportunity, analyzing plays and learning from his idols to enhance his own game. This season, Singye is particularly impressed with the new management and technical team at Transport United. Their efforts to transform and uplift the club have not gone unnoticed, and he is optimistic about the future. As we gear up for the tournament, Singye extends his best wishes to all teams involved. With his dedication and passion, there is no doubt that he will continue to be a key player in the evolving story of Transport United FC. Join us in cheering on Singye as he pursues both his sporting and academic ambitions with fervor and resilience.
