Chinese tennis player Peng Shuai, who’s been the subject of concern after briefly disappearing from view in November after a social media post that accused a Chinese official of sexual assault, met with International Olympic Committee President Thomas bach in Beijing Saturday, the IOC revealed.

Peng also sat for an interview with French newspaper ‘L’Equipe’ that was published Monday in which she said the concern is based on “an enormous misunderstanding,” as she denied accusing the official of sexual assault.

‘L’Equipe’ said it had to submit questions in advance, and that a Chinese Olympic committee official sat in on the interview and translated Peng’s comments.
