USA Gymnastics statement regarding Simone Biles and WADA hack: /YTq2iVS7Vuįancy Bears’ also accused tennis stars Serena and Venus Williams of various breaches, claims that were strenuously denied (see below). The group said artistic gymnast Biles was one of the “American doping athletes”, linking 13 files it said support its claims. “As predicted, the USA dominated the 2016 Olympics medal count with 46 gold, 37 silver, 38 bronze for 121 total,” Fancy Bears’ said. “The U.S. Since then, several hacking groups have threatened to hack WADA. The entire Russian athletics team was barred from competing in Rio after systemic doping breaches were exposed earlier this year. People will see "steroids" and flip out, but these are NOT muscle-building anabolic drugs. “Besides the fact that someone hacked the documents.”ģ was treated with CORTICOsteroids for injuries. US investigative journalist TJ Quinn from sports broadcaster ESPN said on his Twitter page there was nothing in the documents that suggest anyone did anything wrong. This is other evidence that WADA and IOC’s Medical and Scientific Department are corrupt and deceitful.”įormer Australian Anti-Doping chief Richard Ings, however, tweeted that the findings released by Fancy Bears’ showed Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) files that were not in themselves incriminating. “In other words they just got their licenses for doping. “The Rio Olympic medalists regularly used illicit strong drugs justified by certificates of approval for therapeutic use,” it said. Simone Biles’ alleged WADA documents were leaked by the group. “After detailed studying of the hacked WADA databases we figured out that dozens of American athletes had tested positive,” the Fancy Bears’ group claimed on its website. At this stage it is thought the data gained is confined to the Rio games. WADA said it believes access was gained to its database through the phishing of emails via an IOC–created account for the Rio 2016 Olympics. “The IOC can confirm however that the athletes mentioned did not violate any anti-doping rules during the Olympic Games Rio 2016,” it said in a statement. The International Olympic Committee also condemned the attempt to “tarnish the reputation of clean athletes”.
“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,” said Olivier Niggli said.
