No further entitlement to compensation for GDR doping victims. Former canoe athlete's lawsuit for so-called administrative rehabilitation dismissed.
She is severely disabled and has been unable to work since she was 43 years old. According to the first doping victim assistance law, she had already received compensation from a fund. The secret administration of doping substances did not serve to politically persecute those affected and it was not an arbitrary act in an individual case, the court said. The Senate would have to decide whether and how to include the group of GDR dope victims in this group.
