Lothar Kipke
Lothar Kipke (* 1927 or 1928) is a German doctor. He was the association doctor of the swimming sports association of the GDR , IM of the Stasi and was convicted in January 2000 for his involvement in compulsory doping in the GDR . At the beginning of 1975 Lothar Kipke belonged to the research group Additional Performance Reserves (ZuLei), with which the GDR began to install the state-regulated doping system.
GDR compulsory doping
In 1971, Kipke took part in the inaugural meeting of the sports medicine control group for the Olympic Games. There they exchanged ideas about anabolic steroids . These agents are not detectable in the urine and are therefore not doping agents. He reported to the DTSB that the effects had been favorable and "it was [...] advised which group of athletes would get which preparations in the future." In 1977 he reported on a large-scale anabolic steroids trial in the GDR national swimming team, which was designed at the Research Institute for Physical Culture and Sport .
Conviction for doping in the GDR
Kipke was for his participation in the government-mandated doping in GDR competitive sport in January 2000 by the District Court of Berlin for aid for injury to a prison sentence of 15 months for probation convicted. The then 72-year-old had confessed to having been involved in 58 cases between 1975 and 1985 in the administration of anabolic steroids to underage swimmers to improve performance and without medical indication. The doping plans were worked out by Kipke and, after approval by Manfred Höppner, the administration of injections and oral turinabol was checked. Kipke was also sentenced to pay 7,500 marks to a non-profit organization and had to bear the costs of the proceedings.
Unofficial employee of the State Security
Kipke was an unofficial employee of the GDR State Security under the code name Rolf . He reported to the State Security about methods of compulsory doping in GDR competitive sport . So he reported about the sports doctor Siegfried Israel in 1971 that he had a wide range of experiences with doping in cycling and that the successes of Täve Schur and others were largely due to "doping methods". Giselher Spitzer described Kipke as one of the highest ranking and most willing IM. Kipke's IM reports were used as evidence in the trials of forced doping in GDR competitive sports in the 1990s.
