Hartmut Riedel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hartmut Riedel (* 1943 or 1944 ) is a German sports doctor and university professor .

Life

Riedel was the athletics section doctor at SC Motor Jena , and as an "external habilitation student" he researched anabolic steroids at the Research Institute for Physical Culture and Sport in Leipzig . From 1975 he was involved in an experiment with javelin throwers with orotic acid .

From 1982 to autumn 1986 he headed the research department at the Central Institute of Sports Medicine in Kreischa . From November he was the head doctor of the German Association for Athletics in the GDR . He was considered the "absolute doping expert of the GDR".

In May 1987, he left the GDR national team at an athletics event in Austria and fled to West Germany. He went to the FRG without his dissertation-B-writing (topic: "On the effect of anabolic steroids on the athletic performance development in the athletic jumping disciplines"), which was in the GDR as a "secret classified information", because he owns information according to the that same year broke with the topic of doping. A copy of the work was available at the Paderborn Sports Institute, but it was not made public. The doping fighter Werner Franke said in 2006 about Riedel's dissertation B : “It wasn't even with the Nazis that someone with such criminal filth attained academic honors.” A report in the news magazine Stern , in which Riedel reveals details about doping in the East wanted, he had it changed at the behest of August Kirsch (Chairman of the Federal Institute for Sports Science ). That emerges from the files of the Ministry for State Security.

Riedel, who had researched anabolic steroids in the GDR among other things, started working on September 1, 1987 under Heinz Liesen as a research assistant at the Sports Medicine Institute of the University of Paderborn . Liesen told the news magazine Der Spiegel in 2011 that he had brought Riedel to his institute because he had done important work, namely by proving that "you don't need high anabolic doses". In addition, Riedel was able to prove "how to prevent side effects without sacrificing performance." He found Riedel to be a serious man who "put the focus on the health of the athletes", said Liesen. In 1989, thanks to a report by Joseph Keul and the recommendation of Wildor Hollmann, he became professor at the Faculty of Sports Science at the University of Bayreuth . Riedel had previously stated in an examination by Hollmann that he had worked “in the field of pharmacological performance influencing”. Hollmann did not ask any further questions because the topic was "completely uninteresting" for his Cologne institute. "Doping was deliberately not mentioned," Hollmann said later.

Riedel held the professorship in Bayreuth until the end of 1993. In November 1993, he applied for his discharge from university after allegations were made against him that he had administered doping drugs to athletes and worked for the Ministry of State Security. Riedel had previously denied any activity for the Stasi. Even before the end of his activity in Bayreuth, Liesen tried to bring Riedel back to the University of Paderborn as a professor, but the faculty refused. In the Federal Republic of Germany, Riedel was also temporarily responsible for looking after the middle distance athletes in athletics.

Riedel later worked as an orthopedic surgeon. In October 1999, he was sentenced by the Berlin-Tiergarten District Court for aiding and abetting bodily harm in seven cases and for bodily harm in eleven cases to a fine of 180 daily rates of 60 D-Marks each.
