LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- After five weeks of concern about the safety of tennis player Peng Shuai in China, the International Olympic Committee said Tuesday it cannot give any certainties about her case.

 

The IOC's two video calls with the Grand Slam doubles champion are the only reported contacts Peng has had with people outside China since Nov. 2 when she sent a social media post alleging she was sexually assaulted by a former top Communist Party official.

Critics have claimed the IOC is enabling a cover-up by China ahead of the state-backed project to host the Winter Olympics in Beijing in February.

The IOC faced more questions about Peng on Tuesday at its first news conference since the Women's Tennis Association, which has been unable to speak to her, suspended all of its tournaments in China.

(There is some irony in using ESPN link, given the network’s attempts at making all things woke and its kowtowing to Communist demands. Billions of dollars to be made by cooperating with China’s Communists, don’t you know.)
