Antidopings-myndighet hackad av ryssar
Läckta dokument ska dock inte ha innehållit några konstigheter
World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) uppger nu att de blivit hackade av den ryska hackinggruppen Tsar Team, en grupp som även går under namnet Fancy Bear enligt WADA.Dokumenten som hackarna kom över släppte man sedan publikt och där framkommer bland annat att idrottarna Serena Williams, Venus Williams, Simone Biles samt Elena Delle Donne ska ha tagit mediciner som förbjudits av WADA. Enligt Deadspin ska dock samtliga av dessa idrottare undantagits från förbudet på grund av att medicinerna använts för terapeutiskt bruk. Idrottarna bröt med andra ord inte mot WADA:s regler.WADA säger i ett uttalande:

WADA has been informed by law enforcement authorities that these attacks are originating out of Russia. Let it be known that these criminal acts are greatly compromising the effort by the global anti-doping community to re-establish trust in Russia further to the outcomes of the Agency’s independent McLaren Investigation Report."
