James F. Doehring (born January 27, 1962, in Santa Barbara, California) is a former American athlete who primarily competed in the shot put.
In 1981, Doehring was the United States junior champion in shot put before being severely injured in a motorcycle accident.[1] He recovered to earn a berth on the 1988 Summer Olympics team, finishing in eleventh place.[2] In December 1990 Doehring tested positive for steroids and was given a two year suspension.[3][2] He was reinstated in March 1992 due to "procedural improprieties" in the test.[4] This allowed Doehring to compete for the United States in the 1992 Summer Olympics in Barcelona, Spain where he won the silver medal in the men's shot put.[5][6] The U.S. finished first and second in the event for the first time since the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City.[7] At the 1993 IAAF World Indoor Championships, he again won the silver medal in the men's shot put.[8]
