Ulrike Tauber (born 16 June 1958) is a retired medley and butterfly swimmer from East Germany, who won the gold medal in the women's 400 m individual medley at the 1976 Summer Olympics in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. There she also captured the silver medal in the women's 200 m butterfly. In the 1970s Tauber set numerous world records in the 200 m and 200 m individual medley.[1] In 1974 and 1977, Swimming World magazine awarded Tauber the titles of Swimmer of the Year and European Swimmer of the Year. In 1988 Tauber was inducted into the International Swimming Hall of Fame. It was later revealed that she had used doping during competitions, like many other athletes from the GDR. In 2013, Swimming World stripped her of all titles.
