Russian hackers have released the medical information for several atheletes. It's believed they hacked the World Antidoping Agency because of the controversy of sports doping. Three of the athletes targeted were Simone Biles, Serena Williams, and Venus Williams. They revealed the were given exceptions to use prohibited drugs for medical reasons. I think that if drugs are needed for medical reasons then it is ok to use them. It's also is eye opening that it's very easy for people to hack into databases and get our information.

    1. Well Caleb nobody is ever safe on the internet, the whole deep web is open to anyone who can hack into stuff. Also I understand that athletes can use drugs if it's for medical reasons, but it's kinda unfair to others if they are some king of drug that helps them out in Olympics and other competition

  3. It's fair that they were simply using drugs for medical reasons but wether its them or another athlete just don't be unfair and take away all the hard work everyone in the Olympics has put in by using illegal drugs.
