Life

In 1945 Nowacki fled with his parents from Pomerania to Stendal . There he attended the Winckelmann School and passed his Abitur there in 1952 . As a teenager he played handball and soccer for the Lok Stendal club . He was also a table tennis player and was team runner-up in the German Democratic Republic in the 1950s . In Raw Stendal he was temporarily active for the FDJ . Nowacki studied in Rostock and Greifswald , in 1957 he went to the Federal Republic and continued his studies at the Free University of Berlin . He completed advanced training in surgery , internal medicine , gynecology , pathology and radiology . He completed his doctoral thesis with Emil Bücherl in 1966 and then went to Lübeck .

There he worked at the 1st Medical Clinic at the Medical University of Lübeck and as head of the Medical Research and Examination Center at the Ratzeburg Rowing Academy . There he worked closely with rowing trainer Karl Adam  . During the 1972 Summer Olympics , Nowacki was a doctor for the German national rowing and canoeing team. In 1972 he was appointed to the chair for sports medicine at the Justus Liebig University in Giessen and began his service on April 1, 1973. From 1974 to 1984 he was also a doctor for the German national soccer team. Nowacki spoke out against giving top athletes unauthorized performance-enhancing drugs and, as early as the 1970s, had a different opinion than leading sports medicine specialists in Germany. According to the report "Joseph Keul: Scientific culture, doping and research on pharmacological performance enhancement", he positioned himself against "a manipulation measure that was not even prohibited and whose performance-enhancing effect could well have been shown" and thus formed one of the "most exposed scientists in West Germany" an exception. He also shared his position with the then NOK President Willi Daume in a letter in August 1976. From the mid-1970s he was involved in setting up sports medicine facilities in several countries, including Brazil , China , Indonesia and Portugal . In Wettenberg he was community representative for the CDU for ten years .

In 1994 Nowacki was Vice President of the 25th World Congress for Sports Medicine in Athens , and from 1994 to 2002 he represented the German Society for Sports Medicine and Prevention at the World Association for Sports Medicine (FIMS). In 1998 he was awarded the Gold Medal of Honor, the highest award from the German Society for Sports Medicine and Prevention. From 2001, Nowacki was the anti-doping officer of the German Ski Association (DSV) and hit the headlines when he, unlike DSV officials, expressed understanding for the suspension of the athlete and the then national coach Jochen Behle after Evi Sachsenbacher-Stehle's positive doping test had criticized. As a result, Nowacki was asked by the DSV not to comment publicly on the case. Nowacki then compared the association's approach with GDR methods. Until 2002 he held the chair for sports medicine at the University of Giessen. But he still held lectures until 2006.

At the research level, he dealt with performance diagnostics, sports-medical aspects of women's sport, was involved in a long-term study of the biological development of cross-country skiers, and dealt with aspects of lactate and anaerobic capacity. He dealt with altitude training and worked on the introduction of a standardized "sports medical examination system for the Federal Republic of Germany". Nowacki was co-editor of the book “Doping. Clinic - Active Ingredients - Methods - Prevention ”, which was published in 2010.

In 2011 Nowacki was awarded the Federal Cross of Merit on ribbon .
