\u201cSending you so much love Jordan,\u201d Biles wrote via Instagram Story on Saturday, August 10, however. \u201cKeep your chin up, Olympic champ! We love you!\u201d<\/p>\n
Suni Lee, Biles and Chiles\u2019 teammate, added the following:<\/p>\n
\u201cAll this talk about the athlete, what about the judges?? Completely unacceptable. This is awful and I\u2019m gutted for you, Jordan. I got your back forever, Jo. You will ALWAYS be an Olympic champion.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the history of the Olympics, no one has ever been stripped of their medal for this,\u201d Jazmin Chiles wrote on Instagram in response. \u201cThere are only two ways you can be stripped of your medal: cheating or doping. She did neither.\u201d<\/p>\n
Added Jazmin:<\/p>\n
\u201cFour seconds. Her bronze was stripped over four seconds that would have never needed to happen if the judges did their job.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe inquiry into the difficulty value of Jordan Chiles\u2019 floor exercise routine was filed in good faith and, we believed, in accordance with FIG rules to ensure accurate scoring.<\/p>\n
\u201cThroughout the appeal process, Jordan has been subject to consistent, utterly baseless and extremely hurtful attacks on social media.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo athlete should be subject to such treatment. We condemn the attacks and those who engage, support or instigate them. <\/p>\n
\u201cWe commend Jordan for conducting herself with integrity both on and off the competition floor, and we continue to stand by and support her.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
