    Former USA Olympic and national team gymnastics coach Maggie Haney, who coached 2016 Olympic gold medalist Laurie Hernandez and 2018 world champion Riley McCusker, has been suspended eight years for verbal and emotional abuse, per Scott M. Reid of the Orange County Register.

    USA Gymnastics outlined the remainder of the punishment:

    "The hearing panel determined that Ms. Haney is suspended from membership, and any coaching of USA Gymnastics athletes or in member clubs, for a period of eight years, effective immediately, followed by a two year probationary period. After the suspension concludes, Ms. Haney may reapply for membership after submitting proof of completing certain specified Safe Sport courses."
