The\r\nIAAF banned Russia's team from competing internationally in 2015 after investigations by WADA found evidence\r\nof state-sponsored doping.\r\nFancy Bears began posting medical records of Olympians online last year, with U.S. and British athletes making\r\nup a large proportion of those targeted. Only selected records were released, and no Russians with TUEs were\r\nnamed, even though records show dozens of TUEs had been granted there in recent years.\r\nAs of Monday, Fancy Bears' website contained no mention of IAAF information.\r\nSource: https://www.voanews.com/a/iaaf-hack-fancy-bears/3793874.html\r\nhttps://www.voanews.com/a/iaaf-hack-fancy-bears/3793874.html\r\nPage 1 of 1",
