The extremely high energy output of S5 0014 + 81 (5 x 10 to the 48th ergs/s) and the presence of a high column density metal absorption system at z = 1.11 in the optical spectrum suggest that a gravitational lens might be present. Indeed, a weak second component was found with the VLA at 6 cm, 0.6 second south of the unresolved main component. Further VLA and VLBI observations reveal clearly only the one bright source, but with an elongation in the direction of the second component. Therefore, the radio structure is probably of jetlike phenomenon, and it does not provide evidence for or against a gravitational lens which might have boosted the observed flux density of the quasar.
