2020-present

In 2021, after it was announced that her coach Rana Reider was being investigated by the US Center for SafeSport for sexual misconduct, UK Athletics told Neita and other British athletes who were part of Reider’s group to cease contact with Reider or else her membership in the World Class Programme, including lottery funding, would be suspended.[4] Neita left Reider’s training group thereafter.[4]
