"The Storm recently received internal allegations of potential workplace policy violations," the team told the outlet in a statement. "The organization retained an outside investigator to conduct an impartial investigation into the allegations. The investigation has been completed and there were no findings of policy violations or any discrimination, harassment, or bullying.

"To protect the integrity of the process, and to preserve confidentiality, we chose not to comment while the investigation was ongoing. The Storm will continue to provide a work environment in which all individuals are treated with respect."

The Chicago Sun-Times first reported the complaint in November.
