Andreas Krieger (born Heidi Krieger on 20 July 1966) is a German former shot putter who competed on the women’s East German athletics team at SC Dynamo Berlin. After years of being systematically and unknowingly doped withanabolic steroids by East German officials, which caused body chemistry issues, Heidi Krieger underwent gender reassignment surgery and became a trans man. Krieger says that while he did experience gender dysphoria before being doped, he regretted not being able to make the actual transition without the doping abuses.
