Executive summary: Four Olympic Gold Medals in 1976 See Michael Janofsky, "Coaches Concede That Steroids Fueled East Germany's Success in Swimming", The New York Times, 3 December 1991, and Alan Cowell, "In a Cold War Hangover, Germany Confronts a Legacy of Steroids", The New York Times, 5 April 1998. While East German coaches admitted the steroid program, Ender herself claims her miraculous performance was not enhanced: "Every victory is a result of sweat... Anyone who claims that the East German doping machine just churned out masses of Olympic winners knows nothing about performance sports." However, she later admitted receiving injections for post-competition "regeneration" and "recuperation" which caused her an 18-pound weight gain.
