Peng Shuai: Chinese tennis star denies making sexual assault allegation against Zhang Gaoli, but WTA concerns persist

CNN  

Hong Kong CNN — Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai has denied making sexual assault allegations against a retired Communist Party leader, following more than a month of growing concern about her safety and whereabouts that led to the Women’s Tennis Association pulling out of China. In Sunday’s interview, Peng expressed her appreciation toward the IOC, saying she feels “very grateful” to the Olympic body and was “very happy to have video calls with them.” Peng also said she wrote an email to WTA chairman and CEO Steve Simon recanting the allegations “completely of my own will.” At the time, Simon questioned the validity of the email and said “we won’t be comfortable until we have a chance to speak with her.” A spokesperson for the WTA told CNN on Monday, “it was again good to see Peng Shuai in a public setting and we certainly hope she is doing well. CEO Simon said the decision was based on the “unacceptable” response of Chinese officials, including rushing to censor Peng’s allegations and ignoring calls for a full and transparent investigation. The ministry has also said Peng’s situation “was not a diplomatic issue.” CNN has repeatedly reached out for comment to both Peng and China’s State Council, which handles press inquires for the central government.
