Barbara Krause (born 7 July 1959 in East Berlin) is a former freestyle swimmer from East Germany. Krause was a three times Olympic gold medalist and eight-time world record holder.

With the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, Krause won Olympic gold in the 100 m and 200 m freestyle. She also won gold in the 4×100 m freestyle relay team.

East German doping

Krause, like many of the East German athletes of the time, was doped by her coaches[1][2] under instruction from the Stasi.[3][4] At the time of the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal Krause was forced off the East German swimming team because "team doctors had miscalculated her dose of drugs and worried she might test positive at the Games".[5]
