Tennis star Rafael Nadal and British Olympic great Mo Farah said they have nothing to hide after their medical records were the latest to be leaked by a cyber-hacking group on Monday.

They are among more than 60 international athletes, including 17 from the British team at the Rio Olympics, who have had their medical files - mostly therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) - published online by the so-called Fancy Bears, who have hacked into World Anti-Doping Agency (Wada) records.

There is no suggestion that any of the named athletes - among them some of the biggest names in sport - have done anything wrong.
