Yuliya Stepanova, a Russian runner, has gone into hiding after her email and WADA(World Anti-Doping Agency) ADAMS( Anti-Doping Administration and Management System) accounts were hacked.
There have been numerous threats on their lives and Vladimir Putin even went so far as to call them a "Judas", legitimizing their claims.
As a result of her whistleblowing and an investigation by WADA, Russian athletes were banned from the Rio Olympics. Stepanova herself was banned due to a positive result for doping in 2013.
It is suspected that the hacking was an attempt to figure out their location, which is believed to be in the U.S.
In a related story, WADA said that their website was breached by the hacker group Anonymous who threatened to release its contents.
