USA Gymnastics officials first received abuse complaints against Haney in 2016. In August 2019, it was announced Haney was under investigation by USA Gymnastics over allegations of verbal and emotional abuse. At least a half dozen families filed complaints against Haney, alleging that she instructed injured gymnasts to remove casts and continue training, as well as screaming at and threatening gymnasts. On February 3 2020, her hearing on the allegations began. She was suspended from coaching minor athletes pending the outcome of the hearing.

During the hearing, testimony was given regarding major injuries suffered by Haney's athletes. Her two most prominent students, Laurie Hernandez and Riley McCusker, both testified - Hernandez verbally, and McCusker through a written statement. McCusker, a World champion trained by Haney, suffered rhabdomyolysis, a muscle condition linked to overtraining, in 2019. The hearing lasted thirteen days over two months - February and March. In March, USA Gymnastics suspended Victoria Levine, a coach and co-owner of MG Elite Gymnastics, due to allegations that she also was verbally abusive to athletes.
