Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai was closely watched by a Chinese Olympic official as she repeated her retraction of her allegation that she was sexually assaulted by a Communist Party boss.
In November, Peng, 36, took to social media platform Weibo to accuse former Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli of coercing her into having sex.
The post was swiftly deleted, and then grave fears were raised over Peng's safety as she seemingly disappeared from the public eye.
