“Why are you so worried? I never disappeared” Peng Shuai appeared with SHOCKING admission »FirstSportz

Former world number 1 in doubles, Peng Shuai shook the world in November 2021 when she appeared on the Chinese social networking site ‘Weibo’ and accused the senior politician and Vice Premier of China Zhang Gaoli for forcing her into a relationship and assaulting her multiple times a decade ago.

However, the post was deleted after only 30 minutes global media learned about the post and questions were raised on China and Gaoli through the post. While the WTA and worldwide media outlets attempt to contact Peng, it is not possible to reach a player who has not been heard or seen for the next 3 weeks.

During this time, the WTA received an alleged email from the player in which she said the allegations made were false and that she was safe and secure. However, the WTA did not believe it and continued to try to contact her. However, the entire episode seems to have ended with the player’s recent interview.

“First, I would like to thank all the ATP and WTA players, all the athletes and all the individuals in large numbers who have taken an interest in me. But I don’t think there will be such concern and I would like to know: why so concern? I never disappear, people can see me.

“What happened – I answered this question, in an interview in Shanghai as well as via an email to the WTA, and many others. This post has led to a big misunderstanding from the outside world. I hope that we are no longer distorting the meaning of this post. And I also hope that we don’t add exaggeration to this. I never said anyone sexually assaulted me,” Peng said in her latest video interview with L’Equipe.

While the global media started with the ‘Where is Peng Shuai?‘, the WTA took the bold decision to cancel all scheduled tournaments in China and Hong Kong due to the Chinese government’s backing. International Olympic Committee presents what looks like a work of ‘covering up’ the truth.

“I never disappeared. It’s just that so many people, like my friends, including from the IOC, have been texting me and it’s hard to reply to so many messages. But with my close friends, I still keep a close relationship. I discussed with them, replied to their emails, I also discussed with WTA.

“However, towards the end of the year, their website’s communication was changed and many players had difficulty logging in at that time. But we always keep in touch with colleagues. That’s why I don’t know why the information that I’ve disappeared goes viral,” Peng added in her interview blamed the WTA’s change of computer for the reason she stopped communicating.

While this certainly makes China clear on the whole case, it is still up to the WTA to decide whether they will decide to lift the ban on ITF-supported Chinese tournaments as well. who decided to suspend their tournaments in China.
