Confidential medical data of gold medal-winning gymnast Simone Biles,
seven-time Grand Slam champion Venus Williams and basketball player
Elena Delle Donne was hacked from a World Anti-Doping Agency database
and posted online on Tuesday.The Russian cyber espionage group called Fancy Bear, published records
of "Therapeutic Use Exemptions" (TUEs), which allow athletes to use
otherwise-banned substances if they have a verified medical reason to do
so.
Reacting, Biles said:
"I have ADHD and I have taken medicine for it since I was a kid. Please
know, I believe in clean sport, have always followed the rules, and will
continue to do so as fair play is critical to sport and is very
important to me. Having ADHD, and taking medicine for it is nothing to
be ashamed of nothing that I'm afraid to let people know."
