Dr. Ajan also said that Arnold Schwarzenegger has said that he too will attend, if his political commitments permit.  And as part of the continued fight for a clean sport, Dr. Ajan said that blood tests would be administered at the World Weightlifting Championships, noting that blood tests can detect the use of anabolic steroids six months prior to the test.
