(Reuters) - Britain's Olympic champion Mo Farah's coach has been accused of using prohibited drug infusions to improve the performance of his runners, the Sunday Times reported citing a leaked United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) report. The Sunday Times said the report had been leaked by the 'Fancy Bears' hacking group which has previously leaked medical and doping-related documents. Farah’s British doctors intervened because they were concerned about the effects on his health, the paper said, citing the leaked USADA report. Fancy Bears is one of two hacking groups accused in June of hacking the Democratic National Committee's (DNC) computer network in the United States. CrowdStrike, a firm hired by the DNC to respond to those attacks, said in June that Fancy Bears was probably working on behalf of the Russian military.
