WADA fury as Russian hackers release Williams', Biles dataLOS ANGELES -- The World Anti-Doping Agency on Tuesday slammed Russian hackers who breached its database and published confidential records of US Olympic gymnast Simone Biles and tennis stars Venus and Serena Williams. WADA said in a statement that the Russian cyber-espionage group Tsar Team (APT28), also known as Fancy Bears, had broken into its Anti-Doping Administration and Management System (ADAMS) database. The hacking group released information gleaned from the files of Biles, the Williams sisters and US women's basketball player Elena Delle Donne. However, none of the documents published by the group provided evidence of wrongdoing on the part of the athletes involved. The United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) characterized the hack as a "cowardly and despicable" attempt to smear the four women.
