Sebastian Coe: Athletes' drug records hacked, changed (AP photo)ZURICH - The governing body of global athletics (IAAF) said on Monday it had suffered a suspected Russian cyber attack which it believes has compromised information about athletes' medical records. The IAAF said it had contacted athletes who had applied for TUEs since 2012 and its president, Sebastian Coe, apologised. Last year, the same group hacked into the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) database and published the confidential medical records of several dozen athletes. The IAAF banned Russia after a WADA commission report found evidence of state-sponsored doping. Russia missed the track and field events at the Rio Olympics last year and is likely to also miss the world athletics championships in London in August.
