Olympic athletes shrug off medical data leaks by hackers

By Associated Press in Geneva | China Daily | Updated: 2016-09-17 09:11

A two-time Wimbledon singles champion, two Tour de France winners and an Olympic discus gold medalist had the same answer Thursday to the latest leak by hackers of confidential medical information: so what?

Petra Kvitova, Bradley Wiggins, Chris Froome and Robert Harting - all Rio de Janeiro Olympians last month - reacted with sarcasm and shrugs to the leak from the World Anti-Doping Agency database.

The four athletes said their use of approved medications was already widely reported or they welcomed the openness resulting from an alleged Russian-led cyberattack that WADA believes is revenge for investigations into a state-backed doping program in Russia.
