The Women’s Tennis Association (WTA) issued a statement on Sunday calling for a “full, fair, and transparent investigation” into sexual assault allegations made by Chinese tennis star, Peng Shuai, against China’s former vice premier.
WTA Chairman & CEO Steve Simon said in the statement, “Peng Shuai, and all women, deserve to be heard, not censored. Her accusation about the conduct of a former Chinese leader involving a sexual assault must be treated with the utmost seriousness.”
