Andreas Krieger (born 20 July 1966 in East Berlin), is a German former shot putter who competed on the women's East German athletics team at SC Dynamo Berlin as Heidi Krieger.
He was systematically and unknowingly doped with anabolic steroids for years by East German officials, which caused body chemistry issues.
Being a trans man, Krieger subsequently underwent gender reassignment surgery.
Krieger says that, while he did experience gender dysphoria before being doped, he regretted not being able to transition without the doping abuses.
