In August 2020, Reyes was removed from the senior team after a control carried out between August 12 and 13 by the technical team led by the new national coach Alejandra Quereda and by the technical director Isabel Pagán, considering that she did not meet the requirements. to continue in the national team.[14] On August 15, the gymnast herself announced through her social networks the decision of the technical team, as well as her interest in continuing to be active as a gymnast.[15] She eventually ended her sporting career in July 2021.[16]
