Peng Shuai met with IOC President Thomas Bach for dinner in Beijing as the tennis star continued to row back on allegations of sexual abuse against a top Chinese official.
According to an obtuse IOC statement Bach and Peng Shuai met at the Olympic Club in Beijing on the opening day of the Winter Olympics, accompanied by IOC member Kirsty Coventry.
The statement said that Peng Shuai plans to attend events at the Games and claimed she and Coventry attended that night’s mixed curling match between China and Norway.
