This is insanity...and whats worse, is Russian state-media are trying to say they were doping...theres NO doping on those charts.

As far as leaks go I find it interesting.

We see that athletes are allowed to take some very strong and beneficial drugs and its not doping.

I had always pictured that "clean" athletes were not eating OxyContin or required vast amounts of asthma medication to make it through the day. (This last part if from a different disclosure).

I think an adjustment to the current regiment would be that each athlete disclose exactly what type of drugs they are consuming.

What is doping and what is not is not arbitrary but it certainly changes over time.

It seems Simone Biles, and the Williams sisters are taking performance enhancing drugs. But the athletes in question have an exemption from the doping agency.

Recently I've become worried that almost all "leaks" are done by nations.

nothing in that article suggested that Fancy Bear was acting as the nation of Russia. the game is to sell the data to any nation that bids the highest

The Sofacy Group (also known as APT28, Pawn Storm, Fancy Bear and Sednit) was linked to the FSB (Russian Intelligence) during the German Parliament attack
