In July 2021, she was set to cover the Summer Olympics in Tokyo for The Times but was taken off the swimming beat and suspended when she failed to disclose her deal to write a book with American swimmer Michael Phelps. Her arrangement to be a ghostwriter on a book violated the newspaper's conflict of interest policy.[9] She later resigned.[10]
