Britain's Farah became only the second man to retain the
5,000 and 10,000 meters Olympic titles at the Rio de Janeiro
Games last month while compatriot Rose won the first gold medal
in golf for 112 years.
Spaniard Nadal, a 14-times tennis grand slam winner, won Olympic
men's doubles gold with Marc Lopez. He also won the men's
singles title at the 2008 Beijing Games but missed London 2012
due to a knee injury.
WADA has said it believes the hackers, named as APT28 and Fancy
Bears, gained access to its anti-doping administration and
management system (ADAMS) via an IOC-created account for the Rio
Games.
Documents relating to Farah, and published on the fancybear.net
website, showed that the distance runner had no active
Therapeutic Use Exemptions (TUEs) at the time of the Olympics.
He received intravenous infusions of saline solution, morphine
sulphate and vicodin administered orally during a period in
hospital between July 3-5, 2014 when he had collapsed after a
training run.
Prior to that, he was given a TUE for an 80mg dosage of the
corticosteroid triamcinolone in October 2008.
Rose had authorization for daily dosages of the
anti-inflammatory drug prednisolone between May this year and
June 20.
The documents relating to Nadal, who was out for more than two
months with a wrist injury that forced him to miss the French
Open and Wimbledon before the Olympics, showed exemptions in
2009 and 2012.
The fourth release of data so far concerned 26 athletes from
Argentina, Belgium, Burundi, Canada, Denmark, France, Britain,
Hungary, Spain and the United States.
Other high-profile names included Burundi's Francine Niyonsaba,
British cyclist Callum Skinner and double Olympic rowing gold
medallist Helen Glover.
TUEs allow athletes to take banned substances for verified
medical needs and there is no suggestion any of those named have
broken any rules.
WADA has said the "criminal attack" has recklessly exposed
personal data in an attempt to smear reputations.
The agency has also said it believes the attacks are being
carried out as retaliation for investigations that exposed
state-sponsored doping in Russia.
Fancy Bear has previously posted data for U.S. athletes Simone
Biles, Elena Delle Donne, and Serena and Venus Williams as well
as Tour de France-winning British cyclists Bradley Wiggins and
Chris Froome.
