You said "potentially lethal PEDs". The link you provided (see below) did not say "potentially lethal" or for that matter "performance enhancing". Your link EXPLICITLY said it was NOT DOPING, according to an anti-doping expert quoted in the story. If you had said "broke German law" and "potentially dangerous" that would have been more accurate. I did not say anything about Beyer and Straub, and I did not condone breaking German law, but is there any other rational conclusion than one story that explicitly said it is NOT about doping would say nothing about another story that IS about doping? Here's the German link you gave us (in a previous thread):https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/andre-pollmaechers-trainer-bernd-diessner-im-zwielicht.1346.de.html?dram:article_id=195287

I don't know about that, I think your interpretation has stretched it though.
The coach fed his '13 year old' athlete (and others) tablets that he believed would make them 'feel better' directly after training. These 'medicines' and highly concentrated supplements are not allowed in Germany because they're considered potentially dangerous. They have much stricter laws in this regard than Spain or Portugal where you can get steroids over the counter and such like.
Good to know that you think a former GDR coach giving a 13 year old girl suffering from a viral infection in the heart illegal highly concentrated tablets after training has nothing to do with PEDs or says anything about whether his former charges such as Beyer and Straub were doped.
Apparently, the same people who accuse me of being racist for calling out the Kenyan doping problem go to great lengths to defend GDR coaches convicted for feeding young girls illegal tablets and medicines after training.
At some point, maybe the Brojos have to draw a line.
