Hackers name footballers given 2010 World Cup TUEs

By Daily Sports on August 23, 2017

Ex-Premier League players Carlos Tevez, Dirk Kuyt and Gabriel Heinze have been named by hackers Fancy Bears as three of the footballers cleared to use banned medicines at the 2010 World Cup.

The trio were among 25 players given therapeutic use exemptions (TUEs) during the tournament in South Africa.

In its latest leaked documents, the Russian hacking group also claims 160 players failed drugs tests in 2015.

Four of the failed tests were registered by UK Anti-Doping (Ukad).

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.

Tevez, now 33, was playing for Manchester City during the World Cup in 2010 having moved from Manchester United the previous year.

His former Argentina team-mate Heinze, 39, was playing for French club Marseille, having previously spent three seasons at Old Trafford.

Dutchman Kuyt, 37, was at Liverpool. There is no suggestion any of these footballers have done anything wrong.

The latest hack includes an email from the Football Association's head of integrity, Jenni Kennedy, to the sport's world governing body Fifa.

The FA said it was "disappointed that strictly confidential information has been released into the public domain" given the details in the email related to ongoing investigations.

It added that whenever doing violations are uncovered, it released full details on its website as a matter of course.

Fifa said it condemned "in the strongest terms" the release of material it said was obtained illegally."

The release of such information constitutes a clear violation of the athletes' privacy and puts at risk the ongoing fight against doping," it added.
