Lutz Wanja (born 6 June 1956) is a retired German backstroke swimmer who won a bronze medal at the 1973 World Aquatics Championships. He also won three medals at LEN European Aquatics Championships in 1974 and 1977.[1] He competed at the 1972 and 1976 Summer Olympics in the 100 m and 200 m backstroke with the best achievement of fifth place in the 100 m backstroke in 1976.[2]
After retirement, Wanja worked as a swimming coach and was involved in the East German doping program. In particular, Jörg Hoffmann admitted in 1988 that Wanja gave him the anabolic steroid Oral-Turinabol.[3][4]
His wife, Barbara Krause, is a German former Olympic swimmer.[2] Their son, Robert Wanja (born ca. 1983), is also a competitive backstroke swimmer.[5]
