After Doping RAID at the Nordic world Ski Championships, it seems only a matter of time until the scandal other sporting types and also of German athletes, maybe even sports, soldiers will be exposed as a Doper.

The suspicion runs – also in the case of the Biathlon world Cup in Ostersund, Sweden. After the Doping raids in Seefeld and Erfurt around the Nordic world Ski Championships at the end of February is the fear that the scandal, other sporting types and also German athletes of doping be converted.
Also in the Federal Ministry of defence watching the development closely. Because half of the German world Cup Starters are Sports, military, or sports soldiers. In Seefeld 14 of 28 the German athlete is a member of a sports promotion group of the Bundeswehr. In Östersund there are five out of twelve German biathletes.
There is no evidence that one of them is to illicit means of attack. If, however, a blow would be for the armed forces unpleasant consequences. Dopende sports soldiers would ruin the scandals and Affairs anyway just heavily battered Image of the force.
About Doping is you don’t talk like
To the question, what are the consequences of a positive doping would have findings from the press office of the Bundeswehr only a vague answer, but in the best German officials:
“Is transferred to a top athlete or a top athlete in the German armed forces of doping, the soldier or the soldier, in addition to the sanctions from the relevant peak Association of services with consequences, which, from the departure from the top-level sports promotion of the Bundeswehr on the exclusion of the extension of the service contract to the consideration of a dismissal or removal from service. It is important that each case is considered individually.”

Sports soldiers do not work, where a lot of work
No clear scenario for the Worst Case. Inconceivable that the many medals that have fought for the soldiers in the tracksuit since the introduction of the sports promotion groups in the year 1970, could get scratches. Because the promotion of Sports does not work, even if many in the army running smoothly.
An oasis of well-being in times of crisis, apparently, for the Federal Minister of defence. As the Wind is to expensive consultants and the ailing Gorch Fock your particularly strong in the face blew, traveled Ursula von der Leyen, for the “troop visit” at the world Championships to Seefeld. “The sport of the soldiers are all fantastic ambassadors and very important for us,” said von der Leyen. “You bring the whole sport with the knowledge, for the force is very crucial.”
Doper Hauke and Baldauf were sports soldiers in Austria
That this Knowledge and experience on Doping practices, are currently still excluded. But recent developments show that Really exclude anything.
Also in Seefeld caught Doper Max, Hauke and Dominik Baldauf were once a sports soldier in the Austrian army, and later police, athletes, what is the conditions similar. The shows, as far as top athletes go, even if the state by its support measures, a certain degree of security.

Bundeswehr is the biggest employer for top athletes
Where the security is not with the football or tennis professionals comparable. Rich currently 692 German sport soldiers are not. The majority of operate Olympic disciplines in which the premiums are no dizziness reach dizzying heights.
Your income depends on the service degree. Sponsorship agreements must be coordinated with the service of the Lord. Nevertheless, the Bundeswehr is among top sports an attractive employer learning. Especially because there is, apart from the Federal border guards and police, hardly comparable Alternatives, the optimal Training in the case of a secure basic income.
Back prepared for the future
Your basic training is shortened and the maneuvers they are exempt in the rule. Foreign missions do not belong anyway to the job profile. “About 90 percent of my time I spend here with sports and ten percent with military training,” world Cup participant Terence Weber. The Nordic combined athlete is a corporal in the sports promotion group of Frankenberg.
Whether the 22-Year-old, even without the athletic Background for the service of the weapon would have decided, he can open. Similarly, Victoria Carl, the sport soldier from Oberhof. In the long run, a caution came in the fifth place in the Sprint: “I profit very much from being in the army, because it has the back, and also for the future.”

With the sporting career of the armed forces, ends most of the time
The prospects for the future of sport, soldiers stood for a long time in the criticism. Because a dual career was not yet mandatory and has not been promoted is great. Many successful sports soldiers were, therefore, at the end of their sporting career without vocational training, Nothing.
Even if, in the meantime, a rethink has taken place, the opportunities are limited, for life after a career as an athlete and soldier. And the end may come faster than planned. An Athlete loses his squad place, for example, because of its placements disappoint, he will be excluded soon from the sports group.
A few percent more Power can make in a race all the difference, and about courses and careers to decide. The temptation to get this percent on Doping, the sport of the soldiers.
