The World Anti-Doping Agnecy (WADA) has confirmed that cyber hackers 'Fancy Bear have leaked another batch of confidential data about athletes' medical records from WADAs Anti-Doping Administration and Management System (ADAMS).

Earlier, on Wednesday, the hackers published a new batch of documents on their website containing "confidential athlete data of 25 athletes, from eight countries, into the public domain", reports Tass.

Among those athletes are 14 medal winners at the 2016 Summer Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

The first batch of documents was published by the hacker group on Tuesday, containing personal data of four US athletes -- gymnast Simone Biles, tennis players Serena and Venus Willians, and basketball player Elena Delle Donne.
