簡單來說,WTA 因為彭帥的事件暫停/取消所有的中國跟香港的賽事。WTA 主席認為彭帥
無法自由的發言,並相信她是被迫反駁她自己提出的性脅迫指控。在這樣的情況下,他無
法要求運動員在這樣的地方比賽。
“With the full support of the WTA Board of Directors, I am announcing the imm
ediate suspension of all WTA tournaments in China, including Hong Kong,” said
the WTA chairman, Steve Simon, announcing the decision in a statement on Wedn
esday.
WTA主席 Steve Simon說道:「在 WTA 董事會的支持下,我宣布從現在起暫停所有的中國
(包含香港)的WTA賽事。」
“In good conscience, I don’t see how I can ask our athletes to compete there
when Peng Shuai is not allowed to communicate freely and has seemingly been p
ressured to contradict her allegation of sexual assault. Given the current sta
te of affairs, I am also greatly concerned about the risks that all of our pla
yers and staff could face if we were to hold events in China in 2022.”
「追隨我的良心,彭帥不被容許自由的發言,且被脅迫反駁她自己提出的性侵指控,我無
法要求我們的運動員在這樣的地方比賽。考慮到當前的情況,如果我們2022年繼續在中國
舉辦比賽,我甚至高度擔心我們運動員跟工作人員的安危。」
WTA真的很硬呢
