Lying about Her Health
Overall, McKayla claimed that she had broken her nose and foot during the Olympic games and was forced to continue competing because Larry Nassar lied to her coach. Maroney believed that she risked her entire life to do this, and it was a terrible set-up for athletes everywhere.
Her Injuries
Maroney claimed that a bone in her nose exploded, and she had a horrible concussion from two weeks prior. Once she arrived at the Olympics, she was recovering, but Marta Karolyi, her coach, demanded she start practicing immediately.
