Peng Shuai denies any wrong-doing and vows to return to tennis after her six-month suspension.

The former doubles world No. 1 was hit with a six-month suspension for violating tennis' anti-corruption code.

Halep: WTA Tries To Put Me Down

A former Wimbledon and Roland Garros doubles champion, Peng was found to have used coercion and a potential payoff to her partner in an effort to persuade her partner to officially withdraw from the 2017 Wimbledon doubles draw.

Although the offer was refused and Peng Shuai did not subsequently compete at The Championships, the offer constituted a breach of the Tennis Anti-Corruption Program (TACP) which states that: “No Covered Person shall, directly or indirectly, contrive or attempt to contrive the outcome or any other aspect of any event,” the Tennis Integrity Unit said.

Peng denied she had done anything wrong toward Belgian Alison van Uytvanck, who she identified as her partner.

"During the 20 years of my professional career I have never used any ways to force a partner to drop out of a match," Peng posted on Weibo, China's Twitter platform, in comments published by AFP. "It was completely her own action to drop out of the doubles. We have never gave her any money to drop out."

Peng said she's committed to a comeback.

"In the meantime, I will not retire," she said. "I will discuss and resolve whether to appeal or not with a lawyer."
