American gymnast Jordan Chiles ordered to return floor exercise bronze medal days after event

The decision regarding Jordan Chiles' bronze medal points to CAS being a secretive court full of cronies and insiders. Given that the so-called presiding arbitrator has long worked for Romania, an obviously interested party in this case, USA Gymnastics has no other option than appealing to the Swiss courts against CAS.
The rules are harsh but they are the rules. While Team USA may have filed an inquiry on the behalf of Jordan Chiles into the difficulty score of her floor exercise routine in good faith, this request failed to meet the one-minute deadline and must be considered invalid.
