Poland’s anti-doping agency has said that documents leaked by hackers linking top Polish athletes to banned substances are fake news.
The agency blamed a cyberattack for the leaking of files that purportedly showed links between athletes and the use of anabolic steroids and other prohibited performance-enhancing substances, Politico reported.
The anti-doping agency dismissed the allegations as fabricated and, in a statement to Polish sports publication Przegląd Sportowy, said that the hacking was “the action of a group supported by the services of an enemy state.”
In a statement on social media, the agency added: “Fake news discrediting Polish athletes appeared in the public space... None of the mentioned athletes obtained a positive result and none of the dates presented correspond to anti-doping controls.”
The hacking attack is being investigated, according to the agency.
