'Huge misunderstanding': Chinese tennis star Peng Shuai repeats sexual assault denial
tennis star Peng Shuai said she never accused anyone of sexual assault, according to an interview published on Monday, again walking back an allegation that sparked worldwide concern about her safety. The former doubles world number one alleged in a social media post in November that former Chinese vice-premier Zhang Gaoli forced her into sex during a years-long relationship. The post was swiftly deleted and Peng was not heard from for nearly three weeks.
