In September 2022, Mugisha traveled to the United States for the 2022 Maryland Cycling Classic. However, after arriving at the airport he did not arrive at the hotel and a day later he was not at the start of the race, after which his team reported him missing. Camera footage from the airport showed Mugisha passing through passport control and getting into the car with two people he "clearly knew".<ref>{{cite web | url=https://www.velonews.com/news/road/rwandan-rider-samuel-mugisha-reported-missing-ahead-of-maryland-cycling-classics/ | title=Rwandan rider Samuel Mugisha reported missing ahead of Maryland Cycling Classics | work=Velo News | date=6 September 2022 | accessdate=6 September 2022 | author=Benson, Daniel}}</ref>
