Stevens said she was repeatedly raped by her former coach, Andreas “Dre” Gustafsson, over two and a half years starting in February 2017. Concerned that he was victimizing other female athletes, she filed a complaint with the U.S. Center for SafeSport in late 2020. In August 2022 SafeSport provisionally suspended Gustafsson for “sexual misconduct.” USA Track & Field told its members that Gustafsson was prohibited “from participating, in any capacity, in any event, program, activity, or competition authorized by, organized by or under the auspices of the USOPC, the National Governing Bodies recognized by the USOPC, a Local Affiliated Organization ... or at a facility under the jurisdiction of the same.” Gustafsson confirmed that he had consensual sex with Stevens multiple times while still married to his wife, but said it was consensual and "... she loved the sex we had together. She loved it. So, you know, her coming up a victim later on, that’s on her.”
