Shocking though it may [seen / seem] , someone has stolen the medical records of Formula 1 [legend / legendary] Michael Schumacher and could be offering them for sale to the highest [bidder / bidding] .

She reiterated that she would [press / push] charges if anyone bought or published the [genuinely / genuine] documents. She said: "The contents of any medical files are totally [private / privacy] and confidential and must not be made available to the public. We will therefore, in every [singular / single] case, press for criminal charges and damages against any publication of the content or [referee / reference] to the medical file."
