Doped for decades, East German athletes are still searching for
truth and justice. When the infamous Berlin Wall was breached 30
years ago, the darkest secrets of the East German police state
were soon exposed. Among them was the systematic, coercive
administration of performance-enhancing drugs to thousands of
young athletes. It was meant to make them into world beaters,
regardless of any damage to their health. Stephen Sackur talks to
the former East German sprinter Ines Geipel about the abuse she
and others were subjected to in what is now known as the East
German doping scandal.
