Tennis player gave interview to L’Équipe on sidelines of
Beijing Olympics, accompanied by Chinese official
The Chinese
Tennis player Peng Shuai has given her first interview to an independent media organisation since she alleged on Weibo that a senior Chinese official had coerced her into sex, saying it was an “enormous misunderstanding”.
The interview with the French sports daily L’Équipe came as the International Olympic Committee said it was not up to them or anyone else “to judge, in one way or another, her position”.
