      Exactly. The athlete who displayed a gross lack of sportsmanship and challenged Chiles’ complaint because of a four second dispute can try and steal her medal but she won’t give it up.

        I don’t think it’s a lack of sportsmanship to make use of the processes that are there. I do think the processes here are insane.

        I’m someone with a legal background and the way they have things set up is a mess. From what I can tell, every step of the process is calibrated for speed. I agree that the initial decisions should be made quickly (but surely they can spare 2 more minutes for the final competitor to file). However, appeals need more care and time than just a few days.

        This whole thing just reeks of an organization that wants to shove this under a rug and move on. They know they screwed up multiple times at the competition and now are using a complete lack of flexibility to try to cover for it. The problem for them is that they are facing a litigant that doesn’t lack for resources and is highly determined.

      That’s how I feel about it, too. Forgive my silly question, but realistically what repercussions would Chiles or US Gymnastics have if Chiles just keeps the medal?

        I think Chiles would face sanctions from the international gymnastics body. As far as USAG goes, I’m not sure. They could face sanctions too, but they obviously have more leverage than a single athlete does.

        They have no legal claim to the medal at this point. The IOC could ban her from future Olympics, but if she doesn’t want to compete in future Olympics then that’s not much of a threat.

        What usually happens is that the IOC puts the pressure on the country’s national Olympic committee to get the medal back–they can threaten them with fines, sanctions, even banning the entire country from the next Olympics if they wanted to. (Obviously the chances of the entire US getting banned are basically nonexistent.) And then they show up at Jordan’s house and ask her nicely to give the medal back.
