The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has held talks with Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai and has arranged to meet the star in Beijing next month.
Back in November, the two-time Grand Slam doubles champion took to social media site Weibo to make allegations against the country's former Vice-Premier Zhang Gaoli.
Peng, 36, claimed that he had "forced" her to have sexual relations with him, although the post was later deleted before she duly disappeared for around three weeks without trace.
