- conistonwater 10y agoThey are not the organization that conducted the investigation.
- supergirl 10y agoYou didn't get me. In this post they say the attack originated in Russia. I hope you don't think that automatically means the government did it. In any case, wada does not explicitly accuse the government. But still they give that condescending statement, as if Russia now has to become a country without criminals to win trust back. I think it is telling of their bias.
- threeseed 10y agoThe extent of doping in Russia was far beyond anything seen elsewhere. So yes when you have a complete collapse in trust in a country they will have to earn their way back.
- supergirl 10y agoPlease stop with this. You are repeating some argument that is not relevant in this discussion.
- tptacek 10y agoAgain: WADA isn't the organization that determined the where the attack came from.
- celticninja 10y agoYou would do well to read the article, specifically: “WADA has been informed by law enforcement authorities that these attacks are originating out of Russia,” A quick google search of Fancy Bears (the name the hackers have used on their release page) links them to APT28: "APT28, as it's known by FireEye/Mandiant, is also called Tsar Team by iSIGHT Partners, Sednit by Eset, Fancy Bear by CrowdStrike, and Operation Pawn Storm by Trend Micro. This attack group goes after NATO, Eastern European government and military agencies, defense, and Russian adversaries, the report notes." WADA didnt investigate, the investigation is done by competent security analysts, and whilst I am aware that anything is this sphere is possibly misinformation/propaganda from both sides, it would seem evident that after Russia were sanctioned for doping, then hackers release data on suspected US doping that there is an easy link to make. And there is very little to be gained by another adversary trying to make trouble between the US and Russia with such an attack.
- supergirl 10y agoYou would do well to try to understand my comment better. Is there proof this hacker group is the Russian government? I don's hear any and even wada did not claim this. Therefore it is a criminal group from Russia. Why should Russia as a state be punished for its criminals? Is that how it works now?
