The head of the Polish Tennis Association on Wednesday denied an allegation by a member of parliament that he sexually assaulted her in the early 1990s when she was an adolescent and he was a coach.
"I have been the victim of baseless accusations and I intend to prove it in court," Miroslaw Skrzypczynski said about the allegation by lawmaker Katarzyna Kotula, which has caused uproar in Poland since an online news site published it on Monday.
"I have repeatedly stated and I still maintain that the recent media reports about me are untrue," Skrzypczynski said in a statement emailed to Reuters.
