CAS ruled that the U.S. score review request, which elevated Chiles to bronze, was four seconds late.
The International Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) does not intend to reconsider its decision, by which the American gymnast Jordan Chiles lost his Olympic medal. USA Gymnastics said on Monday that it had been informed by the court that its rules do not allow reconsideration of the decision despite new evidence.
The federation said in a statement that it does not intend to be satisfied with the CAS decision, but intends to appeal the matter to the Swiss Federal Court. The headquarters of CAS is located in Lausanne, Switzerland.
The United States had appealed the decision to return Chile’s women’s balance beam bronze medal to Romania To Ana Barbosa.
CAS ruled that the U.S. score review request, which elevated Chiles to bronze, was four seconds late. In its appeal, the United States sought to demonstrate with evidence that the request was filed in time.
