Beschreibung | Manfred Höppner (born 16 April 1934 in Weinböhla, Germany) served as the German Democratic Republic's (GDR) top sports doctor. He and Manfred Ewald, the GDR's minister of sport (1961–1988) and president of the country's Olympic committee from 1973 to 1990, are considered the architects of the GDR's state-sponsored system of the illicit use of performance-enhancing drugs, believed to account for the GDR's Olympic successes between 1972–1988. Höppner allegedly had ties to the East German secret police, the Stasi. |
