Confirming, after trying numerous times

W3C validation:
http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sport1.de%2Fcoremedia%2Fgenerator%2Fwww.sport1.de%2FMain.html
474 errors

I guess the above makes the bug INVALID ?

Not necessary, there are lots of website out there that dont validate but work
fine. And even if the code would be invalid, then its not INVALID, its Tech
Evangelism.

I have the same problem on my website, www.alice-martineau.com .. it is possible
that the links that don't work are related to the div windows? perhaps
multilayered divs? 

I think the reason your page is ok until it loads completely is because
something is being read in the page that causes the links to stop working (I
would guess at a div window of sorts).

my page has the same kind of problem with the links on the upper area of the
page, and it validates without any problem:
