America's golden girl Simone Biles has become the victim of a Russian hacking scandal.

The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) confirmed Tuesday that a Russian cyber espionage group, known as Fancy Bear , illegally broke into its database and obtained private medical records of American athletes through an International Olympic Committee (IOC)-created account.

Along with Biles' health information, the hackers acquired

Serena Williams and Venus Williams ' records as well. All three athletes were reportedly given medical exemptions to use banned drugs.

The 19-year-old gymnast, who took home four gold medals and one bronze at the Rio Olympics , addressed the drug testing leak on Twitter Tuesday, revealing that she had been taking medication for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).

"I have ADHD and I have taken medicine for it since I was a kid. Please know, I believe in clean sport, have always followed the rules, and will continue to do so as fair play is critical to sport and is very important to me," Biles tweeted.
