Russian hackers broke into a World Anti-Doping Agency database and posted confidential medical data of some American athletes online.
Wada said the attack — which targeted some female members of the
United States team which competed at the Rio de Janeiro Olympics — was
carried out by a “Russian cyber espionage group” called Fancy Bears.
The hackers revealed records of “Therapeutic Use Exemptions” which
allow athletes to use substances that are banned unless there is a
verified medical need.
Wada previously warned of cyberattacks after investigators it appointed published reports into Russian state-sponsored doping.
