俄黑客泄露美運動員醫療信息 大小威或涉禁藥

Russian hackers — possibly the same group that compromised the Democratic National Committee’s computer servers two months ago — have made top American athletes their latest target.

一些俄羅斯黑客——跟兩個月前侵入民主黨全國委員會計算機服務器的可能是同一撥人——把美國頂尖運動員當成了最新目標。

Joining an intercontinental dispute over sports doping, the hackers penetrated the World Anti-Doping Agency’s athlete database and publicly revealed private medical information about three of the United States’ most famous athletes: Serena Williams, Venus Williams and Simone Biles.

這些黑客捲入與體育界興奮劑事件有關的跨越大洲的爭端，侵入了世界反興奮劑機構(World Anti-Doping Agency)的運動員數據庫，並公佈了三位美國知名運動員的私人醫療信息。這三人分別是塞雷娜•威廉姆斯(Serena Williams)、維納斯•威廉姆斯(Venus Williams)和西蒙•拜爾斯(Simone Biles)。

The hackers published documents this week showing that the Williams sisters and Biles, who won four gold medals in gymnastics at the Rio Olympics last month, received medical exemptions to use banned drugs.

黑客於本週公佈的文件顯示，威廉姆斯姐妹及在里約奧運會體操賽場上斬獲四枚金牌的拜爾斯，均獲得了使用禁藥的醫療豁免權。

The anti-doping agency confirmed the authenticity of the documents in a statement Tuesday, attributing the hack to Fancy Bear, a Russian cyberespionage group that forensics specialists have repeatedly tied to breaches against government agencies, nonprofits and corporations. That group is believed to be associated with GRU, Russia’s military intelligence agency suspected of involvement in the recent theft of emails and documents from the Democratic National Committee.

世界反興奮劑機構在週二的聲明中確認了這些文件的真實性，並把此次黑客攻擊歸咎於“奢華熊”(Fancy Bear)。這是一個多次被鑑識專家與侵入政府機構、非營利組織和企業網絡的行爲聯繫起來的俄羅斯網絡間諜組織。該團體據信與俄羅斯軍事情報機構總參謀部情報總局(GRU)有關，後者被懷疑捲入了近期發生的民主黨全國代表大會郵件和文件失竊案。

“These criminal acts are greatly compromising the effort by the global antidoping community to re-establish trust in Russia,” WADA’s director general, Olivier Niggli, said Tuesday, referencing revelations of elaborate government-ordered doping by Russia that prompted more than 100 of the country’s athletes to be barred from Rio Games.

“全球反興奮劑界正竭力重建對俄羅斯的信任，而這些犯罪行爲極大地損害了這種努力，”世界反興奮劑機構總幹事奧利維爾•尼格利(Olivier Niggli)週二表示。他指的是由俄羅斯政府下令實施的一項複雜的興奮劑計劃被曝光一事，此事導致逾百名俄羅斯運動員被裏約奧運會拒之門外。

The hackers wrote on their website that the United States had “played well but not fair” in Rio, and the medical documents were quickly hailed in Russia on Tuesday as evidence of widespread doping among American athletes, and the double-standards of global antidoping regulators.

這羣黑客在他們自己的網站上寫道，美國在里約賽場上“表現得很好，但卻違反了公平原則”。週二當天，這些醫療文件在俄羅斯很快就被描繪成了美國運動員普遍使用興奮劑、國際反興奮劑監察機構實行雙重標準的絕佳證據。

Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for President Vladimir V. Putin, said that the Kremlin was not involved in the hacks. “It’s simply ruled out,” Peskov said.

俄羅斯總統弗拉基米爾•V•普京(Vladimir V. Putin)的發言人迪米特里•佩斯科夫(Dmitry Peskov)表示，克里姆林宮並未參與黑客攻擊事件。“根本沒有這種可能性，”佩斯科夫說。

Revenge, apparently, motivated the WADA hacks. In May, The New York Times reported the account of Russia’s longtime anti-doping lab chief, who said the country had run a doping program and staged an elaborate cheating scheme at the 2014 Sochi Olympics. A subsequent report commissioned by WADA confirmed that account.

復仇似乎是黑客攻擊世界反興奮劑機構的動機所在。《紐約時報》在5月份報道了俄羅斯反興奮劑實驗室前主任的說法。此人在這一職位上待過很長時間，他說俄羅斯實施了一項興奮劑計劃，並針對2014年的索契冬奧會籌劃了複雜的作弊方案。世界反興奮劑機構隨後發佈的報告確認了這種說法。

The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said Tuesday the American athletes in question had sought the requisite approvals to take typically prohibited substances.

美國反興奮劑機構週二表示，受到質疑的幾位美國運動員按照規定尋求了使用這些通常意義上的違禁物質的許可。
