German politicians call for publication of report into cold war doping [View all]

German opposition politicians have called for a report detailing the extent to which government-backed doping of West German athletes took place from the 1970s, and possibly before, to be made public after it was revealed it was being held back over privacy concerns.

The report also mentions football players, who were doped before the 1970s, including three who played during the 1966 World Cup final where England beat West Germany in Wembley 4-2. Researchers said a letter had been discovered in which Fifa officials said traces of the banned stimulant ephedrine had been found.

This is possibly the biggest scandal in sporting history and it taints everything the West German national team won. No surprise they don't want to publish it.
