HONG KONG: Computer hackers who leaked the medical records of more than 100 top athletes in a bid to reveal questionable drug exemptions may have tampered with the data, according to the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). 

The cyber espionage group ‘Fancy Bears’, which is believed to be Russian, broke into WADA’s database to expose athletes it said violate the principles of fair play by taking doping substances.
