Do not expose the hacker group Fancy Bears, and WADA policy endangers the foundations of anti-doping in the sports world

A few days ago the site of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) hacked hackers Fancy Bears (yet they are suspected in the attacks on the US Democratic party sites), and became publicly known confidential information relating to a number of world-renowned athletes. So, it turned out that WADA permitted American tennis players Serena and Venus Williams, as well as the fourfold champion of the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro gymnast Simone Biles and basketball player Elena Delle Donne take forbidden substances.

In the documents, caught in the open access, it said that the former top-ranked Serena Williams in 2010, 2014 and 2015 were allowed to use oxycodone, hydromorphone, prednisone, prednisolone and methylprednisolone, included in the forbidden list of WADA. Venus in 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 received permission to receiving prednisone, prednisolone, triamcinolone and formoterol. Gymnast Simone Biles legally used amphetamines and basketball Delle Donne therapeutic took amphetamines and hydrocortisone. However, only Baylz in response to the publication revealed his diagnosis, allowing it to obtain authorization to WADA. In 19 years fourfold Olympic champion of 2016, it appears, with childhood attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.
In fact, nothing criminal in this part of the revelations there. WADA rules are such that competitors may use illegal drugs for medical reasons. For this only need to notify the organization and confirm the fact that the treatment is urgently needed is this forbidden drug and no more.
The situation can be compared to a Norwegian biathlon and cross-country skiing, where asthmatic athletes are allowed to use drugs to treat the disease. Talking about any fraud by the American athletes or the same Norwegians do not have: these are the rules, and they can use it. In this regard, it recalls the doping case of Olga Medvedtseva that at the Olympics 2006 in Turin has performed under the name Pyleva. After the "silver" in the individual race over 15 km of its test showed the presence of a prohibited carphedon. It turned out that the athlete took him out of the doctor's mistakes Nina Vinogradova (in Russian Carphedon issued under the title Phenotropil), housed in a restored biathletes after an ankle injury. Then, in 2006, the doctor failed to notify anti-doping service of the appointment and reception of athlete preparation. If all the formalities have been complied with, Olga had not lost an Olympic "silver" and has not lost two years of career due to a suspension. You can buy Phenotropil.
Soon Fancy Bears published a list of 25 famous athletes who dope in different years, as well as information about the positive tests during the Olympics-2016. Suspicion fell and Russian boxer Misha Aloyan, silver medalist in the category up to 52 kg.
The US side groundlessly accused of cyber attacks on the WADA website Russia. Interim results of the action as Fancy Bears lies in the fact that everything becomes clear: anti-doping rules require clarity and transparency. Viewer or fans in the stands has a right to know what uses they observed an athlete. Ethics here at anything. Athlete - a public figure, as, for example, and policies, and if the same States actively discussed the state of health of a candidate in the upcoming presidential election, how to publicize information about the athletes health put taboo, especially when it comes to doping, around which is today so much passion? The answer is simple, as well as an explanation of irritated reaction from overseas. American sports stars are clean is very conditional: they have taken illegal drugs with the secret blessing of WADA. Whoever Does the World Anti-Doping Agency likening Branch headquarters, for which secrecy is natural and necessary?
