He was systematically and unknowingly doped with anabolic steroids for years by East German officials,[2] which caused body chemistry issues. Being a trans man, Krieger subsequently underwent gender affirmation surgery. Krieger says that, while he did experience gender dysphoria before being doped,[3] he regretted not being able to transition without the doping abuses.
