IOC's Bach: 'Where is Peng Shuai?' question is resolved

Former doubles world number one Peng's well-being became a matter of global concern when she appeared to allege on social media in November that a former Chinese vice premier, Zhang Gaoli, had sexually assaulted her in the past.

After that post, which was quickly removed, she disappeared from public view for nearly three weeks and the Women's Tennis Association suspended all tournaments in China over her concerns regarding her safety and security.

A three-time Olympian, Peng's presence during the Games had been a matter of speculation since the IOC said it planned to meet with her in Beijing.

In an interview on Sunday Peng denied she had accused anyone of sexual assault. Bach had met her on Saturday for dinner.

The IOC's headquarters are in the Swiss city and Bach said the meeting would most likely take place during the summer months. The IOC has said it would support her in any decision she made in this matter, whether she wanted an investigation or not.

Peng has attended several sports event at the Games including the Big Air competition and curling as well as figure skating, smiling and waving at spectators.
