Laurie Hernandez's former coach has been suspended for eight years by USA Gymnastics.
USA Gymnastics confirmed that Maggie Haney, co-owner and coach of MG Elite in Morganville, New Jersey, has been banned effective immediately after a hearing panel found that she had emotionally and verbally abused gymnasts. She can apply for reinstatement at the end of her suspension. If she's reinstated, she will be placed on two years probation.
Haney is not allowed to attend any USA Gymnastics events during the suspension with the exception of taking her daughter and can't contact any of the plaintiffs in her case.
