Death for Olympia - The case of Birgit Dressel
There is an exciting documentary in the ARD media library. In three parts, partly as a docudrama, the circumstances of the unexpected death of the heptathlete Birgit Dressel are reconstructed. I watched the first two parts last night, but unfortunately I was too tired for the third. It is shocking that in the 1980s anabolic steroids were practically part of the diet of top West German athletes and that this was tolerated or encouraged by doctors, trainers, officials and politicians. And that in some qualifications fourth place was deliberately preferred to a better placing in order to avoid being checked. But enough spoilers.
