Antje Harvey

Antje Harvey, born Antje Misersky on 10 May 1967 in Magdeburg, is a former German cross-country skier and biathlete. She began as a cross-country skier and was part of the East German relay team that won bronze at the 1985 Nordic World Ski Championships, but her career there ended after her father, a national team trainer, refused to give steroids to his daughter and other team members. She took up biathlon in 1989 and won the 15 km individual gold and two silver medals at the 1992 Winter Olympics in Albertville, adding a relay silver at the 1994 Games in Lillehammer. She also won two World Championships relay medals. She retired in 1995, moved to Utah and became an American citizen in 2000. In 1995 she received the Heidi Krieger Medal for refusing to take part in the East German doping system.
