Alois Mader

Alois Mader (born June 10, 1935 in Plana , Czechoslovakia ) is a German sports doctor and university professor.

Life

After graduating from high school in 1954, Mader studied medicine at the Martin Luther University in Halle from 1954 to 1960 . Mader was an assistant doctor in Halle from 1965 to 1969, where he qualified as a specialist in sports medicine, from 1969 to 1974 he was senior physician and department head for performance physiology at the main sports medical advice center in the Halle district . In May 1974 he fled from the German Democratic Republic to the Federal Republic of Germany , where he continued to work as a research assistant at Wildor Hollmann's chair . He received his doctorate in 1981 from the University of Cologne and completed his habilitation in 1984 at the German Sport University Cologne . From 1987 he was professor for sports medicine at the Institute for Cardiovascular Research and Sports Medicine at the German Sport University Cologne . From 1999 to 2000 he was provisional director of this institute. He was the team doctor in charge of the rowers of the DRV (1979–1988), looked after the Olympic team in 1984 and 1988 and worked as a medical supervisor for the German medium and long distance athletes.

As a scientist, he mainly dealt with the determination of lactate. In 1970/71, together with Haase, he developed a method that made it possible to use just a drop instead of an ampoule to determine the lactate value after exercise.

He deals with the subject of doping and later with the computer simulation of the muscular energy metabolism under physical stress. Due to his many years of activity in the GDR, he was able to provide extensive information about the doping methods there . His personal support for moderate forms of doping remained controversial. He denied that anabolic steroids "in therapeutic doses" were harmful to athletes. In Brigitte Berendonk's book “Doping Documents: From Research to Fraud” Mader is referred to as a “pharmaceutical manipulator” who, according to the author, reported “very positively about his doping experience” at an event in December 1976. There it is also said that Mader “like his boss, Professor Wildor Hollmann , spoke out in favor of anabolic doping” and in October 1976 told the Badische Zeitung that this was “not a sporting problem, but a sport ethical question”. After his escape to the FRG, according to Berendonk, Mader reported "quite unabashedly of the benefits of GDR anabolic doping" and recommended doping agents to his colleagues in West Germany. Mader was one of "the greatest advocates of anabolic steroids", stated Strang and Spitzer in the study "Doping in Germany from 1950 to today from a historical-sociological point of view in the context of ethical legitimation". The sports doctor Paul Nowacki reported that Mader had propagated "the use of anabolic steroids" and was received there "like a messiah by the various associations" after his escape to the West.

In his last autobiographical work, Mader sharply attacked the structures of competitive sports in the Federal Republic of Germany, which, through their unscientific approach, especially in the area of ​​the application of lactate analysis to training control in endurance sports, would have driven top German athletes into international mediocrity and / or doping. In 2013 Mader expressed doubts about the effectiveness of doping substances such as EPO . And doping with stimulants is “a model constructed by scientifically illiterate people”.
