Russian hackers, Fancy Bears, have turned the spotlight on soccer today.
Carlos Tevez, Juan Veron and Dirk Kuyt have been named as three of the players permitted to use otherwise-banned medication during the 2010 World Cup.
The three were among twenty five players given therapeutic use exemptions during the tournament in South Africa.

In its latest leaked documents, the Russian group also claims 160 players failed drugs tests in 2015, 4 in the UK. Three players tested positive for cocaine, and one for ecstasy.
This is the first time Fancy Bears hackers have released details about TUEs in football.
