Following on from its initial hack of World Anti-Doping Agency's (WADA) Anti-Doping Administration and Management System (ADAMS), Russian cyber-hackers Tsar Team (APT28), also known as 'Fancy Bear', have released a second round of data with Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins among the 29 athletes named.
WADA have confirmed the second leak of data.
'Fancy Bear' were able to access ADAMS through an account created by the International Olympic Committee for the Olympic Games in Rio.

"We condemn this criminal activity and have asked the Russian Government to do everything in their power to make it stop," said Olivier Niggli, Director General, WADA. "Continued cyber-attacks emanating from Russia seriously undermine the work that is being carried out to rebuild a compliant anti-doping program in Russia.
"We still believe that access to ADAMS was obtained through spear phishing of email accounts; whereby, ADAMS passwords were obtained enabling access to ADAMS account information confined to the Rio 2016 Games. We have no reason to believe that other ADAMS data has been compromised."
The second release of hacked data related to Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUE) forms with Tour de France winners Chris Froome and Bradley Wiggins both named. While Froome's TUE from the 2014 Tour de Romandie was contentious at the time, there was no wrongdoing on his or Team Sky's behalf. Froome revealed the second TUE, which preceded the 2013 Criterium du Dauphine, in an interview with the Scotsman earlier this year.
