The IAAF said the hackers had been able to access athletes’ private medical records, while IAAF president Fancy Bear expressed "our sincerest apologies and our total commitment to continue to do everything in our power to remedy the situation". “The general feeling in Russia is that we didn’t have a chance.” The hackers and American officials claimed western athletes have been given an unfair advantage through therapeutic-use exemptions.
