Samantha Linette Riley is an Australian breaststroke swimmer of Aboriginal descent of the 1990s who competed for Australia in the 1992 Barcelona Olympics and the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, winning three medals. She trained under Scott Volkers at the Commercial Swimming Club in Brisbane. Having been advised as a child to begin swimming to combat asthma, the Brisbane schoolgirl broke into the Australian team for the 1991 World Championships in Perth, winning a silver medal in the medley relay. The following year, Riley won a bronze medal in the 100m breaststroke at the 1992 Barcelona Olympics, as well as competing in the 200m event. In 1994, Riley won both breaststroke events at the 1994 Commonwealth Games in Victoria, Canada, and repeated the feat at the World Championships in Rome, Italy, setting a world record of 1min 07.69s in the 100m event. This prompted Swimming World magazine to name her as the Female World Swimmer of the Year. Riley continued to sweep all before her in 1995, but arrived for the Atlanta Olympics under the cloud of a doping controversy.
