Four more Australian athletes including Olympic swim star Cate Campbell and world champion slalom canoeist Jessica Fox have had their confidential medical information leaked by cyber espionage group Fancy Bears. The information released includes details of therapeutic use exemptions or TUEs, which allow athletes to use certain prohibited substances under strict rules to treat legitimate medical conditions. The release has been quickly condemned by the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority which rejects any suggestion of wrongdoing by the athletes. “In the cases of all four [Australian] athletes named today, this process determined that their medication use was both necessary for their health and would not give performance enhancing benefits. British Olympic star Mo Farah, who is also among the total 107 athletes who have now had their records leaked, said on Monday he had nothing to hide.
