NADA mourns the death of Armin Baumert, who passed away on January 22, 2022, at the age of 78.
The former track and field athlete and Director of Competitive Sports at the German Sports Federation presided over NADA as Chairman of the Executive Board from 2007 to 2011. He accompanied NADA in its reform process and played a major role in its current structure. For his voluntary work at NADA and in various associations and clubs, Armin Baumert received the Federal Cross of Merit in 2012. He was a sincere comrade-in-arms for clean sport and laid important foundations for anti-doping work in Germany.
It is with great respect and shared grief with his family that NADA takes leave of Armin Baumert.
