USA Gymnastics officials say an arbitration panel won’t reconsider a decision asking gymnast Jordan Chiles to return the bronze medal she won at the Paris Olympics
If the US didn’t submit this video evidence they say proves the inquiry was filed within 1 minute, then CAS didn’t use it when making its decision. Them not reconsidering the case now following this evidence by the US is not unusual. Most court appeals (and not just sports courts, regular government courts too) don’t review new evidence in appeals.
Part of the question is whether the US was properly notified and had a proper opportunity to gather evidence in the first place. There is a lot we don’t know, but it seems likely that the US wasn’t afforded any sort of due process. This is definitely not over yet.
