from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Henner Misersky , actually Henrich Misersky (born December 25, 1940 in Jena ) is a German, former competitive athlete and cross-country skiing trainer . After his refusal of the state-prescribed doping in the GDR competitive sport , he was dismissed as a trainer. In the later years of his life, Miserksy won numerous German senior championships in cross-country skiing and several gold medals at senior world championships.

Life

Misersky studied at the University of Jena . In 1965 he was GDR runner-up in the 3,000-meter obstacle course . He was denied an academic career and doctorate, who was considered "politically unreliable". He became a teacher for endurance sports at the TH Ilmenau and later an official youth trainer at SC Motor Zella-Mehlis . His daughters Heike and Antje were successful cross-country skiers in the youth field. After he refused to give the cross-country skiers he trained (including his daughter Antje) male hormones as a doping agent, he was dismissed as a trainer in 1985 without notice. His daughter was banned from participating in competitions.

In 1992, in a television interview at the Winter Olympics in Albertville , he accused the German Ski Association of having taken over doping-contaminated trainers from the GDR. He advocated nationwide public doping controls in skiing and appeared as a witness in trials against doping offenders.

Honors

In 2009 he was awarded the Heidi-Krieger-Medal for his stance against the GDR state doping . In 2010 he received the badge of honor from the Thuringian Ski Association. On May 25, 2012, he was inducted into the Hall of Fame of German Sports .
