The 'Fancy Bears' hacking group released another round of medical information from the World Anti Doping Agency (WADA) databases on Friday, with Fabian Cancellara, Jacob Fuglsang, and Stephen Cummings the latest cyclists to become embroiled in the affair.
Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins were the first cyclists to have their Therapeutic Use Exemption (TUE) history leaked online, and they were followed by Jack Bobridge, Laura Trott, and Callum Skinner.
Two TUE documents relating to Cancellara were added to the Fancy Bear website on Friday, both seemingly showing backdated permission for steroid-based substances.

The first is for a one-off 120mg dose of methylprednisolone which was injected intravenously in a Swiss hospital three days ahead of the 2011 Vuelta a España.
While the 'effective from' date on the form is given as August 17, the authorisation date is August 22 - two days after the start of the Vuelta, where Cancellara was part of the Leopard Trek team that took victory on the opening stage team time trial. The attached notes explain that Cancellara would undergo the appropriate blood tests in hospital on August 18.
Cancellara’s second TUE document sees him granted authorisation for another one-off dose of methylprednisolone, this time 40mg administered orally. Also on the form is authorisation for prednisolone, a daily 20mg dose of which was allowed for a period of three days.
