USA Gymnastics said Monday that its appeal to restore gymnast Jordan Chiles' bronze medal in the floor exercise has been turned down.

The federation said in a statement to social media that it was informed by the Court of Arbitration for Sport that rules "do not allow for an arbitral award to be reconsidered even when conclusive new evidence is presented."

What a bizarre, unsatisfying process.

An arbitrary policy for an arbitrary judgment.  Sounds like they need an arbitrator.
