The World Anti-Doping Agency said that hackers stole confidential medical information about US Olympic athletes and published it on the Internet, blaming a Russian group for the attack. 

The US government is investigating the case because there is evidence that the hackers are linked to the Russian government, though details are still sketchy, according to two sources familiar with the probe who were not authorised to publicly discuss the matter.
