London: British cycling stars Chris Froome and Sir Bradley Wiggins have said they have nothing to hide after they became the latest athletes to have their medical records hacked. The personal information relates to ‘therapeutic use exemptions’ (TUEs) that enable them to take medicine that otherwise would be banned by the WADA. In a statement, three-time Tour de France champion Froome said: “I’ve openly discussed my TUEs with the media and have no issues with the leak which confirms my statements.”
“In nine years as a professional I’ve twice required a TUE for exacerbated asthma, the last time was in 2014.” The BBC reported that 53 British Olympians had TUEs in Rio.
