U.S. gymnast Jordan Chiles was stripped of her floor exercise bronze medal Sunday by the International Olympic Committee after a scoring inquiry was deemed invalid. The IOC's decision echoed a ruling by the Court of Arbitration for Sport, which found that the scoring appeal from Chiles' coach was filed four seconds too late, and Romania's Ana Bărbosu, 18, was retroactively deemed the floor exercise bronze medalist.
“This decision was very tough for Andreea and was not easily taken by the IOC at the time,” Bach said in a news release. “It shows how strict our anti-doping rules are by having to apply the principle of strict liability of the athlete.' He added, 'On the other hand I feel a great deal of sympathy for her because she has to suffer from a mistake by her team doctor. Even more so because this happened at the age of 16, when as an athlete you have absolute confidence in your medical team.
