About this person
Wikipedia SummaryKornelia Ender is a former East German swimmer who at the 1976 Summer Olympics became the first female swimmer to win four gold medals at a single Olympic Games, all in world record times. It was later proven that the East German team doctors had systematically administered steroids to their athletes. As she had exhibited symptoms of steroid use in 1976, strong suspicion was cast on the validity of Ender's accomplishments.
