Fancy Bears hackers leak claims Carlos Tevez, Gabriel Heinze and Dirk Kuyt were given drug exemptions at 2010 World Cup
Several big name stars on list allegedly showing how Fifa cleared the use of banned substances in South Africa World Cup on medical grounds
CARLOS TEVEZ, Dirk Kuyt and Gabriel Heinze were allegedly given Fifa clearance to use banned substances, according to hacked documents published today.
The Fancy Bears hackers - who have gained notoriety for sharing medical records of world renowned sports stars - have released lists they claim show how rife doping is in football.
Along with a 150-long list of what they claim are failed tests in 2015, the group thought to be linked to Russia also say they have a Fifa document showing which players at the 2010 World Cup were using banned substances.
It alleges there were 25 players in South Africa that summer who used banned substances under medical grounds - with Tevez, Heinze and Kuyt among those named.
Tevez, at the time a Manchester City player, is named as one of five Argentina players allegedly using Betamethasone - a steroid usually found in cream to treat skin conditions.
Former Manchester United defender Heinze was another - along with another ex-Old Trafford star Juan Veron.
Dutch ace Kuyt, who was in the middle of a six-year spell at Liverpool at the time, registered he was using Dexamethasone, it is claimed - another steroid substance used to treat skin complaints.
A fifth player who has played in the Premier League, Ryan Nelson, was another who it is claimed had medical clearance to use a banned substance.

There is no suggestion any of the players name in the leaked document were doing anything illegal - and all declarations fell within World Anti-Doping Agency guidelines.
They had all been disclosed to Fifa beforehand and all were clear to play in the World Cup.
Fifa have been contacted for their comment.
