Life

Lepping was four times German youth champion (over 100 and 200 meters outdoors and 60 and 200 meters indoors). In 1986 Lepping, who started for the LG Marl-Bertlich, became German indoor runner-up over 200 meters. At the junior world championships in the same year, she achieved fifth place over the 100-meter course. Also in 1986 Lepping was eleventh over 200 meters at the European Championships in Stuttgart . Her personal bests were 11.56 s over 100 meters and 23.18 s over 200 meters. It ran both times in the summer of 1986.

Lepping spoke out against doping as an active athlete . According to her own statement, she never doped. She was "inspired by the idea of ​​staying clean". In 1986 she was approached by Heinz-Jochen Spilker , trainer of SC Eintracht Hamm . Spilker made a move to Hamm palatable for her by saying that he should show her why the GDR sprinters were so fast. According to his own statement, Lepping was thinking of "original training methods". After moving to Hamm in 1987, she made it clear to Spilker that she “did not want to participate” in doping. In a procedure at the local court in Hamm in 1994, Spilker was sentenced to a fine “for placing finished medicinal products on the market”. Among other things, according to observations made by one of her Hammer colleagues, Stromba, which is on the list of prohibited doping , was taken. According to their statement, the Hammer athletes received  blank prescriptions from the Freiburg sports doctor Armin Klümper . In 1989 Lepping suffered a back injury and ended her competitive sports career a little later. She completed a political degree, worked as a journalist, worked for the Tagesspiegel and as a Berlin correspondent for the Stuttgarter Nachrichten and, since July 2014, as the press spokeswoman for the representation of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia at the federal government in Berlin.

After the fall of the Berlin Wall and during the doping discussions about GDR athletes, Lepping made the German Athletics Association aware of the use of unauthorized means in West Germany in writing, but this was treated negatively. In articles, lectures and as the founder of the website dopingalarm.de , Lepping campaigns against doping. Together with Werner Franke , Henner Misersky and Gerhard Treutlein , she belonged to a group of doping fighters who advocated a change in the Doping Victims Assistance Act in November 2018 in order to prevent alleged fraud in the award of compensation payments to doping victims.
