It has been a long time since East Germany ruled the Olympic games with performance-enhancing drugs.<\/p>\n

The issue in swimming has been brought to the forefront as Shirley Babashoff<\/strong><\/a> and the 1976 women\u2019s swim team in the documentary \u201cThe Last Gold<\/span><\/strong>.\u201d<\/a> The documentary tells the story of the swimmers affected by the East German dominance and urges the IOC to issue medals to the clean winners in each event.<\/p>\n

But the memories remain for many involved, especially those who were given PEDs without their own knowledge. The victims were both the athletes of East Germany and the athletes that were defeated by East Germans.<\/p>\n

\u201cOften unbeknownst to them, East German athletes were frequently given anabolic steroids, sex and growth hormones and extreme doses of pain medication,\u201d Oliver Frisch<\/strong> of Zeit Online wrote. \u201cFor many of those affected, severe health consequences have been the result, some of which are only now making themselves felt. They include heart disease, kidney complications, skin troubles and problems with bones and sex organs. Some suffer from depression and eating disorders or are traumatized. But the issue is hardly ever spoken about: The victims are reticent and those responsible remain silent.\u201d<\/p>\n

Several former athletes spoke to Zeit Online<\/a>, a German news outlet, about their lingering feelings, issues and life-altering affects that continue today.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoy life, but I know that I won’t grow to be very old. I have an incurable illness,\u201d discus thrower Katja Hofmann<\/strong>, 44, told Zeit. \u201cIf I were to list all my health problems using just keywords, it would take several minutes. \u2026 Unfortunately, my body doesn’t tolerate pain medication, so I have to make due without. Pain is my constant companion \u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cToday, few recognize my name because I never took part in the Olympics and I stopped throwing a long time ago. But my sporting career has followed me, because as I know now, I was given performance-enhancing drugs. Without my knowledge. Again and again. For years. \u2026 We were guinea pigs.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Hofmann goes on to detail taking packets of powder from age 13 after being told they were vitamins.<\/p>\n

Victims were not only the athletes and competitors, but children of the athletes.<\/p>\n

Mercedes, Ostrowski<\/strong>, 17, was the daughter of canoe racer Petra Ostrowski<\/strong>, and has been affected by her mothers unknown doping. Her older sister died at age 10 and was unhealthy for her entire life.<\/p>\n

There are many more athletes affected and their lives changed forever. It is another reminder of one of the ugliest times in sports history.<\/p>\n

\"1976-Olympics\"<\/p>\n

Swimming World has asked FINA to recognize all the victims<\/a> from this black era in sport.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
