    This isn’t over by a long shot. The US is going to appeal above CAS due to them not being allowed to properly present evidence. The likelihood of CAS reopening and admitting error was always considered low. This literally means nothing.

      Hopefully it isn’t, but realistically it likely is. I want a smear campaign on these corrupt officials. Release the 47 second appeal, name names for the CAS arb panel, testify to congress. Their names should be mud forever.

      They were allowed - they had 4 days, two of them in response for their request for an extension.

        The request for an extension from the USOPC is straight up not true.

        A Euro news article dropped yesterday/this morning that the first delay was requested by the FIG and the second was requested by the Romanians.

        The USOPC not being named a party in the arbitration and was just a witness, didn’t have the authority to even request a delay anyway.

            USAG/USOPC never requested a delay. That information is false.

      No doubt the legendary Romanian gymnast Nadia Comineci pulled some strings to give an extra boost for reconsideration for the Romania gymnast.

      She was livid after the fuckup for both Romania and USA.

        Can you explan a bit more please? I just don’t quite understand how you say Nadia pulled for the Romanian gymnast but was mad for both the USA and Romania.
