since 1972.
Dr. Treutlein's major research interest concerns the teacher and coach training (interaction teacher - pupils, coach - athletes). As a former coach of high level athletes and actual responsable for athletics in the german federation of university sports (ADH - since 1972) he is also interested since more than 30 years in the developpment of doping and the struggle against doping.
Dr. Treutlein is the author and co-author of several books:
- Sport und Gesellschaft (Schorndorf 1995 - sport and society)

- Wie Trainer wahrnehmen, denken, fhlen und handeln (Köln 1989 - How coaches perceive, think, feel and act).

- Doping im Spitzensport. Sportwissenschaftliche Analysen zur nationalen und internationalen Leistungsentwicklung (Aachen 2000 - Doping in high level sports. Scientific analysis concerning the national and international development of performances)
- Doping - von der Analyse zur Prävention (Aachen 2001 - Doping: From analysis to prevention).
- Körper, Sport und Religion (Würzburg 2002 - body, sports and religion)
The interest of the two doping books lies at the interface between research and prevention.
Dr. Treutlein is regularly interviewed by the media in relation to doping issues and he contributed articles to several german newspapers and reviews. As he is a professor in a teacher training college some times it is not easy to convince his colleagues and the superiors that doping research is of an major interest for the formation of future teachers and coaches.
The conscience for the problems joined to doping is not very high developed; too many people still think that doping concerns only the high level sport. But doping is a part of the general drug problem, of the health of the society and of the general problem if we are able to respect our limits and preserve the ressources of the earth and the human body.
