Team GB star Mo Farah has confidential medical data leaked by Fancy Bears hacking group
Four-time Olympic champion has information shared online alongside other big-names such as Rafa Nadal and Justin Rose
MO FARAH is among the latest group of British sports stars targeted by Russian hackers.
The four-time Olympic champ’s medical data has been published by the Fancy Bears group.
It shows Farah was granted TWO therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs), for steroid triamcinolone in 2008 and morphine in 2014.
That is despite insisting last summer in a row involving his coach he had only ever had one.
A spokesman for Farah last night said: “As Mo has previously stated, he has got nothing to hide and doesn’t have a problem with this or any of his information being released.

“He has only ever had two TUEs. The first was back in 2008 for a one-off anti-inflammatory treatment to an injury.
“The second was in 2014 when Mo collapsed and was airlifted to hospital for emergency care, which consisted of painkillers and a drip.”
Medical info on eight more British athletes including cyclist Callum Skinner, hockey players Alexandra Danson, Sam Quek and Crista Cullen, Olympic rowing champ Helen Glover and golfer Justin Rose were also leaked.
