biography

According to his own information, Spilker studied law at the Ruhr University in Bochum from 1966 , passed the two state exams in 1970 and 1974 and worked as a research assistant at the chairs of Kurt Biedenkopf and Hermann Dilcher .

On October 1, 1976, Spilker replaced Wolfgang Thiele , who was changing to the men's area, as national coach for the women's sprint area. Before that, he was the home trainer of the hurdler Ursula Schalück at OSC Thier Dortmund . After long jumper Karin Hänel and sprinter Gaby Bußmann moved to Dortmund in 1977 , Spilker lost his job as national coach a year later in January 1978. While the German Athletics Association justified the termination with "repeated failures in the area of ​​responsibility of Spilkers", Spilker considered the change to ASV Cologne with his three athletes on January 1, 1978 as decisive. Spilker became the trainer responsible for women in Cologne, where he coached Bußmann and Hänel on German championship titles and international appearances (Schalück ended her career in 1978 due to injury). In 1982 Spilker, Bußmann and Hänel joined the LG Ahlen-Hamm , where a bank provided financial support.

In Hamm - from 1984 his athletes started after the dissolution of the athletics community with Ahlen for the parent club SC Eintracht Hamm - Spilker gathered a number of athletes in the following years, who are offered a particularly good combination of professional training and competitive sport, sponsored by the so-called hammer model should. His athletes, who were particularly successful over 200 and 400 meters, included Helga Arendt , Gisela Kinzel and Silke-Beate Knoll . Arendt became indoor world champion in 1989, Kinzel and Knoll won relay medals at international level and in 1988, together with Arendt and Mechthild Kluth, they were part of a hammer quartet that set an indoor world record in the 4 x 200 meter relay race. Gaby Bußmann ran the German record over 400 meters as fourth in the world championship in 49.75 s in 1983 and won the Olympic bronze with the 4 x 400 meter relay a year later . At the national level, the Hammer 4-by-400-meter relay was victorious three times (1984, 1987, 1988); Bußmann, Arendt, Kinzel, Knoll and long jumper Andrea Hannemann have won individual championships several times. Spilker was finally appointed DLV national coach for the women's 400 meters in November 1988. He resigned from this post two years later because of doping allegations, on the basis of which he was fined in 1994 (see → below ).

As early as November 1989, Spilker rented offices in Erfurt just a few days after the fall of the Berlin Wall and has been working there with his law firm Spilker & Collegen Rechtsanwälte ever since . In September 1990 he was elected to the presidium of the Landessportbund Thuringia , which was founded in the same year, where he was honorary lawyer and vice-president from 1997 to 2012. In addition, from the mid-1990s he was President of the Erfurt Ice Sports Club for a number of years and acts as Chairman of the Board of the City Management Erfurt Association . The two former state ministers Andreas Birkmann and Manfred Scherer and Ansgard Schmidt, who was arrested in 2019 for his involvement in the doping network uncovered by "Operation Aderlass", work in his office .

Spilker is married and has two children. When he was a coach he was in a relationship with his athlete Gaby Bußmann .

Doping Allegations and Conviction

As part of the investigation of the doping scandal surrounding the Canadian Olympic champion Ben Johnson and his trainer Charlie Francis , the sprinter Angella Issajenko , who was also trained by Francis, quoted an entry in the diary during the 1984 Olympic Games in March 1989 , according to which Spilker was one of her contacts in the doping camp ( "I spoke to Spilker. Because they like testosterone all year round anyway"). When asked by the judge, Issajenko stated that Spilker was a coach of the West German team and had told her "that the athletes take testosterone all year round and that he does not think they are taking a break." Spilker also denied these allegations claiming to have talked to Francis about testosterone in connection with Jarmila Kratochvílová's achievements , but did not remember such topics of conversation with Issajenko.

In December 1990, an article appeared in the news magazine Der Spiegel , in which years of anabolic drug doping in Hamm with Spilker was described as a "mastermind". Der Spiegel had previously conducted an interview with Hans-Jörg Kinzel, who was Spilkers' assistant coach in Hamm. Spilker resigned from his national coach position the day before the Spiegel publication. Shortly thereafter, the middle-distance runner Rita Marquard accused Spilker of having offered her doping agents in the past.

After internal proceedings before the legal committee of the German Athletics Association had been discontinued in the meantime , the Dortmund public prosecutor's office charged Spilker and Kinzel with violating the Medicines Act in September 1993 after three years of investigations . This was preceded by an advertisement from the biologist and doping expert Werner Franke from December 1990, whose wife Brigitte Berendonk also spoke to Kinzel. The confessing Kinzel testified extensively at the interrogation of witnesses in the course of the investigation, plus the former sprinter Claudia Lepping , who had already persuaded Kinzel to do the Spiegel interview, who trained in Hamm . Lepping stated that after moving to Hamm in 1987, she noticed and followed up on the doping practices there, but that she refused to take such measures herself. The hammer sprinters, suspected of doping, protested their innocence and remained silent almost exclusively with the exception of the third at the German Junior Championships in 1987 Birgit Schümann, who testified in 1993.

After the descriptions in the Spiegel in 1990, the interrogations of witnesses and the final reasons for the verdict, Hans-Jörg Kinzel came to Hamm in 1983 with his wife Gisela Kinzel, whom he trained , where she convinced Spilker at the end of 1984 to take the anabolic steroid Stanozolol (trade name Stromba ). From 1986 onwards, Hans-Jörg Kinzel himself took over a performance group which, in addition to Gisela Kinzel, also included Helga Arendt , Silke-Beate Knoll , Mechthild Kluth , Andrea Hannemann and Birgit Schümann and which, on Spilker's instructions, also took Stromba. The prescriptions necessary for the procurement are also said to have been issued by the Freiburg sports doctor Armin Klümper . According to the information in Spiegel, Spilker is said to have received information about the East German doping program from Marita Koch's trainer and husband Wolfgang Meier during the 1987 World Championships in Rome ; Already three weeks before the publication of the Spiegel article, Ben Johnson's ex-trainer Charlie Francis had claimed in an interview that was also published in Spiegel that he had heard about GDR doping from Spilker. From spring 1988, Spilker procured the anabolic steroid oxandrolone (trade name Anavar ) from the United States , which he is said to have heard from Francis, with fewer side effects, according to Kinzels . According to Kinzel, the Hammer athletes knew about the risks of taking anabolic steroids. The DLV head trainer Wolfgang Thiele, who was also competing with Spilker, was also “horrified” by the hammer dosages in a personal conversation with Kinzel.

Spilker remained silent during the course of the trial, but had his defense lawyers explain Kinzel's credibility. This led to a quick decision, in February 1994, after a day of trial, Spilker was sentenced to a fine of 12,000 D-Marks by the extended lay judge of the Hamm District Court for placing Anavar on the market without approval, contrary to Section 21 of the Medicines Act , Kinzel had to pay a fine of 750 Marks. In July of the same year, the Hamm Higher Regional Court rejected the appeals by Spilkers and Kinzels.
