A Russian hacker group this week leaked confidential medical files belonging to several U.S. athletes that disclosed medical exemptions from banned substances. Simone Biles, whose files were included in the leaks, has publicly responded to the cyberattacks, saying she was using ADHD medication, for which she had been given an exemption by the World Anti-Doping Agency. Biles took to Twitter, saying, "having ADHD, and taking medicine for it is nothing to be ashamed of."
