At the 2011 Pan Arab Games, the judo events were held at Qatar Sports Club in Doha, Qatar from 10âÂÂ12 December. A total of 16 events were contested.
Two athletes from Judo were caught using performance-enhancing drugs. Gold medalist Safouane Attaf from Morocco in Men's -81 kg and gold medalist Gaballa Mahmoud from Egypt, which was a mistake of his doctor who prescribed a flu medicine which had an extract of a substance included in the doping list, in the Men's -100 kg were caught and stripped of their medals. The silver medalists have since been upgraded to gold, however no bronze medalists have moved up to silver.
