According to the games official website only two athletes turned out positive from Uzbekistan. The first was judoka Shokir Muminov, who was stripped of his silver medal after being caught for using methylhexaneamine. The second was wrestler Jakhongir Muminov, who competed in the men's 84-kilogram Greco-roman wrestling competition. Both used the same drug, which was added to the prohibited list this year.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) continues to promote campaigns against anti-doping among athletes. At the 16th Asian Games,  for example, they launched the WADA’s Athlete Outreach Program, which targets the level of awareness among athletes via a ten questions quiz. Those who scored 9 or 10 out of 10 received freebies of a WADA ball, and got to take a picture with the WADA logo in the background, and then that gets printed for them to keep as a souvenir, said Al-Saeed who was part of the WADA's Athlete Outreach Program.

Stacy Spletzer-Jegen, Senior Manager, Athlete Relations & Communications at WADA also noted the influence of having an Arabic speaker such as Al-Saeed among the team. She said this made it even easier for Arabic speakers to communicate with him and ensure WADA reaches everyone.

Al-Saeed then added that he was privileged to be assigned by the WADA to improve the quiz in Arabic and will submit it by January to be used at the agency official website.

In addition, he also said between 70 to 75 persons from the Saudi delegation participated in this quiz, and the majority scored 9 and 10 out of 10. "This gave an indication to the WADA that we are doing a good job and that the level of awareness among our athletes and sports officials is excellent when it comes to the rules and regulation of anti-doping," he said.

It was not only the tests, the Saudi Anti-Doping Committee also ran several informal workshop for the athletes and sports officials since August to refresh their memory and to prepare them for any doping tests they may be asked to do, he said. These workshops covered subjects such as prohibited drugs, rules and regulations, and athletes' rights. The SAADC also ran tests on around 46 athletes.
 
 "We simply wanted to keep them informed of everything even if they were to be asked outside their competitions for tests. And this is what happened, some of the athletes were asked for the doping test as soon as they arrived to the athlete village. And because they were prepared, everything went smooth. However we saw other delegations questioning and showing distress because they did not prepare their athletes for that," Al-Saeed said.
 
In addition since the Saudi Arabian delegation participating in the 16th Asian Games here included a medical team, Al-Saeed said, "They too were prepared a month ahead of the Games." The medical staff which consisted of seven; two doctors, two physiotherapist, anti-doping official, nurse and secretary were advised which drugs to take, and which not to too." Taking drugs with some herbs for example sometimes could be risky, so we try to avoid that," he said.
