Our Ambassadors

For you and with you #forpureperformance - that's why we founded the initiative in 2014. First supporters of the initiative are the president of the German Fencing Federation and former chairwoman of the IOC Athletes' Commission Claudia Bokel, the former speed skater Anni Friesinger-Postma, the former pole vaulter Silke Spiegelburg, the former cross-country skier Tobias Angerer, the former boxing world champion Wladimir Klitschko, the former para sprinter Heinrich Popow and the former beach volleyball player Jonas Reckermann. Read the athletes' statements on this page.

Many other athletes have committed themselves to clean sport in recent years and are ambassadors of the initiative for pure performance. Find out more about them here: [Our Campaigns]

Tobias Angerer

Multiple Olympic and World Championship medallist in cross-country skiing, supporter of the NADA Germany initiative

‘For me, doping has never been an issue – I love my sport far too much for that. Although the tests involve a certain amount of effort for us elite athletes, they are nevertheless important and necessary. Through my involvement in the NADA Germany campaign, I want to help promote clean sport.’

Claudia Bokel

Former Chair of the IOC Athletes’ Commission, President of the German Fencing Federation, Olympic silver medallist in épée fencing, supporter of the NADA Germany initiative

“For me, fairness in sport is the top priority. I want sport to be clean, whilst ensuring equal opportunities. This is what NADA Germany stands for, which is why I support the NADA Germany initiative.”

Anni Friesinger-Postma

Multiple Olympic champion, world and European champion in speed skating, supporter of the NADA Germany initiative

“Doping is a moral transgression, and only clean athletes can become true sporting heroes. Health is our greatest asset, and doping harms both body and mind. I believe it is important to support NADA Germany, because nothing beats a clean sport and, as far as I’m concerned, cheats are no heroes. I believe NADA Germany is important because too many athletes do not adhere to the principles of fair play, and NADA Germany is trying to keep sport cleaner. Doping ruins the reputation of sport, which is why I am taking part in the NADA Germany campaign ‘GIVE EVERYTHING, TAKE NOTHING’.”

Wladimir Klitschko

IBF, WBO, WBA and IBO heavyweight boxing world champion, supporter of the NADA Germany initiative

“I am committed to clean sport. Doping is not an option. That is why, as an ambassador, I support NADA Germany’s initiative ‘GIVE EVERYTHING, TAKE NOTHING’.”

Heinrich Popow

Multiple Paralympic champion, world and European sprint champion, supporter of the NADA Germany initiative

“I support NADA Germany because it helps us athletes to keep sport clean and thus ensures a future for the values of sport.”

Jonas Reckermann

Olympic beach volleyball champion, supporter of NADA Germany’s initiative

“Fair play, setting a good example and health are extremely important to me – so doping cannot and must not be an option! That is why, as an ambassador, I support NADA Germany’s initiative ‘Give everything, take nothing!’”

Aline Rotter-Focken

2014 Women’s Wrestling World Champion, 2020 Olympic Champion, supporter of the NADA Germany initiative

“Doping is morally wrong. It’s so dangerous to your health and so irresponsible. And it’s also simply unfair when you consider the effort we put in.”

Hans Sarpei

Former footballer for VfL Wolfsburg, Bayer Leverkusen and Schalke 04; winner of the 2011 German Cup with Schalke 04; supporter of the NADA Germany initiative

“People only ever talk about those who have taken something. It’s very important to focus on those who don’t take anything, rather than always just those who do.”

Silke Spiegelburg

Multiple silver medallist at the European Indoor and European Championships in the pole vault; supporter of the NADA Germany initiative

‘I think it’s important to support NADA Germany, because this also helps to raise general awareness of Education and fair play in sport.’
