Bärbel Wöckel (néeEckert; born 21 March 1955) is a former East Germansprinter. She never ran a world record in the individual disciplines. However, she ran several world records as part of relay teams with Doris Maletzki, Renate Stecher and Christina Heinich over 4 x 100 meters, the last time on September 8, 1974, in Rome. At the GDR Championships she took first place in the 4 x 100-meter relay in 1974, 1977, 1978, 1981 to 1984. In 1976 she won third place with the team.
Documents uncovered after the fall of communism showed that during this time Wöckel, like many of her East German colleagues, participated in the state-organized doping program. Despite this, her records and medals have been allowed to stand.
Bärbel Wöckel competed for the club SC Motor Jena during her active career. She won 4 national 200 metre championships, as well as an indoor title in 1984.
She won 3 European Cup titles in 1981, 200, 4x100, 4x400 metres.
In the IAAF World Cup 1981 she won 2 Gold Medals in 4x100 and 4x400 relays. Also finishing 3rd in the 200.
Her rival, Marita Koch, complained in a letter that Bärbel received higher doses of steroids than her, because she had relatives in the company Jenapharm.[2]
