Klaus Müller-Ott (born January 24, 1953 in Bad Oldesloe ) is a German general practitioner , sports doctor and sports official .

Career

After his medical studies at the University of Kiel Klaus Müller-Ott was initially at the district hospital Eutin , at the district hospital Bad Segeberg and at the University Hospital Kiel as a medical assistant , before he successfully completed his examination to become a specialist for general medicine took off. On April 1, 1984, Müller-Ott opened a general practitioner practice in Bornhöved . He is also a lecturer at the University of Kiel and as an examiner for general medicine at the Schleswig-Holstein Medical Association .

In terms of sport, Müller-Ott initially actively devoted himself to endurance sports at the local TSV Quellenhaupt Bornhöved, playing football and tennis before he was brought to the triathlon by his brother in 1987 . He took part with him in one of the first triathlon competitions in Schleswig-Holstein, the Hofsee Triathlon in Lübeck. At the end of the 1990s, Müller-Ott was first elected chairman of the Schleswig-Holstein regional association, then vice-president of the German Triathlon Union (DTU) and, in 2001, he was finally the successor to President Martin Engelhardt .
Müller-Ott was one of the pioneers of the Hamburg Triathlon , which developed into one of the world's largest triathlon events, as well as a triathlon academy in Bad Segeberg . As DTU President, he managed to settle the years of legal disputes with the world association ITU and its Canadian President Les McDonald. This also led to Müller-Otts being elected to the ITU board in December 2004 and to success in Hamburg's bid for the 2007 Triathlon World Championship.

When he took office as DTU President, Müller-Ott set the goal of bringing the triathlon to the cities. A first attempt to bring Hamburg to Düsseldorf as a model failed in 2003, however. In 2004, Leipzig became the second “City Man” as the third applicant city for the 2012 Olympic Games. In 2004, Müller-Ott founded Triathlon Event GmbH as a subsidiary of DTU, where he was one of three managing directors.

At the end of 2005 a conflict escalated with the organizer of Ironman Germany , which Müller-Ott was able to resolve by integrating the latter into the German Triathlon Foundation . In December 2007, Müller-Ott announced the decision of the DTU Presidium to move the DTU office from Frankfurt am Main to Hamburg. This decision led to massive resistance on the part of the regional associations and Müller-Ott was voted out of office on an extraordinary association day. Although Müller-Ott agreed at a crisis summit with Thomas Bach and Michael Vesper as well as his successor Rainer Düro to continue to hold the international offices, he resigned from them a few days later. A few months later, a cash check revealed unexplained expense reports from Müller-Ott in the six-digit amount, whereupon the DTU filed charges against Müller-Ott for breach of trust and the delay in bankruptcy with regard to Triathlon Event GmbH. It took more than five years until the criminal proceedings were finally abandoned and "the thread of the conversation ... resumed".

In 2009 there was even a legal dispute between the two former DTU chairmen: Martin Engelhardt had published a memorandum according to which Müller-Ott had reported concrete suspicions of doping - which Müller-Ott denied with an affidavit.

During Müller-Ott's tenure as DTU president, there were several doping cases in triathlon such as B. Nina Kraft , Jürgen Zäck and others, but also the successful installation of an anti-doping system, which made triathlon one of the sports with the highest density of controls in Germany.

Klaus Müller-Ott is the father of four daughters and his daughter Lisa Müller-Ott was part of the DTU C-team at times.
