"Doping in Germany from 1950 to today from a historical and sociological perspective in the context of ethical legitimacy" sponsored research funds from the Federal Institute of Sport Science upon a decision of the German Bundestag.
The aim of the research project is to describe the complexity of the issue of doping, its requirements, conditions and effects in the period between 1950 and 2007, the focus of the study lies in the following areas: The "Stations of doping in Germany" and their "ethical and legal reflection" and the "reception of doping in Germany in the media" and "doping in the relationship between state and Sport".
The division of areas of work and the associated different methodological approach ensures a comprehensive explanation of a partially in the dark field moving phenomenon and its individual cases and sets this in a socio-historical context. The respective historical contexts of meaning are to be reconstructed and allow an assessment of individual cases and system effects in the particular context of the time and from today's perspective.
For systematizing and structuring the data, meaningful temporal phases were identified.
The research groups of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approach the subject matter here with a methodological mix of a systematic analysis of all relevant documents from archives, a big quantitative content analysis with a "denser" qualitative content analysis as well as through surveys of selected witnesses in adapted interviews. The latter are carried out according to the proven, differentiated methodological rules of "oral history". The results are brought together in a respective contemporary construct.
