Nadal, Farah defend medical records after new hack


Rafael Nadal and British Olympic great Mo Farah said they have nothing to hide after their medical records were the latest to be leaked by a cyber-hacking group on Monday. Spanish tennis ace Nadal and four-time Olympic champion distance runner Farah were shown to have used TUEs in the past to gain permission to take substances that figure on WADA's banned list. TUEs can be issued to athletes who have an illness or condition that requires the use of normally prohibited medication. "When you ask permission to take something for therapeutic reasons and they give it to you, you're not taking anything prohibited," Nadal, a 14-time Grand Slam winner, told Spanish media. Far from complaining about the leak of his files -- believed to be the work of Russian hackers -- Nadal said he would support the publishing of all medical records.
