Konstanze monastery helped, in accordance with the instructions of their Coach and did not look at the clock. “Should I overtake in the end as many as possible,” the athlete said the 22-year-old German is easy once you are at the Diamond League Meeting in Stanford in the U.S. state of California your own German record of the kidneys over 3000 meters, the you in 2017 in Birmingham had set up, nearly ten seconds had improved to 8:20,07 minutes.
Monastery Second was helped behind the Ethiopia-born Dutchwoman Aifan Hassan. The winner ran the fourth-fastest time in the 3000 meters, was ever achieved, the monastery helped the sixth-fastest. “The exact time, I only found out half an hour after the race from my coach.” By the name of Pete, Julian, is a US-American, was a former long-distance runner and has been working for eleven years for the “Nike Oregon Project”.
USADA determined for four years
Since last autumn, the monastery trained helped in Portland in the U.S. state of Washington, since the spring is officially a member of the project, as the only German among the eleven athletes. Threaded has the change in the United States the monastery halfens conveyor, Oliver Mintzlaff, Chairman of the Board of the Bundesliga club RB Leipzig.

The “Nike Oregon Project” was founded under the guidance of former Marathon runner Alberto Salazar, in 2001, to end the domination of Africa on long-haul routes, is controversial. Since 2015, the Anti-Doping Agency of the USA (USADA) to determine whether, in Portland against Anti-Doping rules. Kara Goucher, a former athlete of the project, accused Salazar to have her after the birth of her child is a thyroid medication given for you to take. According to an interim report from the USADA of 2017 athletes of the project should be in short intervals by Infusion, L-carnitine is administered, a means by which the energy metabolism can be increased.
Salazar, it was said in the report, had violated “almost certainly” the Anti-Doping Protocol. The head of the project did not dispute this, it came to a prosecution by USADA yet. So far, the most successful protege of the British Superstar Mo Farah, has led to the Salazar four Olympic victories, before Farah left in the autumn of 2017, the project was “not because of the doping allegations”, such as Farah, at the time, underscore.

“I think that in this centre, everything is kind of, been at some point into a positive connection with performance enhancement, is highly applied, professionally,” says Professor Fritz Sörgel, head of the Institute for biomedical and Pharmaceutical research in Nuremberg, the DW. “Is understand, that, for example, infusions are conducted correctly according to the WADA-regulations: not more than 100 milliliters per twelve hours. You go here to the limits.”
“Border-doping”
Some of the runners of the “Nike Oregon Project”, live in apartments, in which Filter the oxygen percentage of the breathing air is reduced. With this method, hypoxic conditions such as at high altitude are simulated, with the result that the body produces more red blood cells. “In professional sports optimization is common,” says Doping expert Sörgel. “Who optimized his training methods and also, obviously, his supply of substances of various kinds, has an advantage. It is the question of how one stands, this is more of a moral question.” Sörgel calls this “border-doping”, and refers to the case in Cyprus, where three professional footballers were in November of 2018, to the police, because you got your club infusions and intravenous injection molding, and then under massive heart problems suffered.
Fritz Sörgel: “The impossible made possible”
The coach of Sebastian White, formerly home to coach the monastery halfens at TSV Bayer 04 Leverkusen, has come according to their own words, the leap in performance of his former protégé. “I am very happy that Koko is gone such a great time, and that they continues to be great,” said White, according to the best time of Stanford. “She went over earlier German records, we know their Talent. Therefore, this is for me, not so surprising.”
If, as now by the monastery helped – a record not only can, but almost pulverized’m broken, “I need to accept that the impossible was made possible” on the other hand says doping expert Sörgel. He do not mean necessarily that the German runner, have resorted to illicit means. “You have to assume innocence,” says Sörgel. “But if you count the things together, one must ask: How are such increases in performance? By taking Advantage of all the possibilities, the limits go? This is a development in sports, you can’t ban with the WADA rules, but questions as to the safety of the athletes.”
