The WTA continues not to trust that the tennis player Shuai Peng can express herself freely and without being coerced, after she has had a call with the International Olympic Committee.
The former world number one in doubles appeared in the last hours in a telematic call with the president of the IOC, Thomas Bach, in which he assured that he was well in his home in Beijing and in which he asked that his privacy be respected.
However, the WTA has responded that this video “does not alleviate concerns for her well-being. and for their ability to communicate without censorship and coercion. “
“This video does not change our request for a full, fair and transparent investigation. about his allegations of sexual abuse, “said the WTA.
Peng had been missing since last December 2, when she accused former Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of sexually abusing her three years ago. Only the media related to the Chinese Government had shown images of the tennis player from that date, until this call with the IOC.
