Doping Enhancement in West German Sports

The Declaration of Principles for Top Sport already included some remarks on the structural conditions that are supposed to foster doping. One was the contradiction between the generally excessive public, social, and political expectations for top-level athletes and the demands for an ascetic life without drugs and doping.

In fact, this dilemma could not be resolved. Three main aspects can be identified as anchoring its structure. First, there were criteria for nominating German athletes to participate in the Olympic Games and world championships; second, the criteria for determining the salary of federal coaches; and third, the practice of Sportförderung (sports sponsorship) by the state for sports associations via the Bundesausschuss Leistungssport (BA-L, Federal Committee for Achievement Sport).
