American Olympic gymnastics star Jordan Chiles and her legal team filed an appeal with the Federal Supreme Court of Switzerland over the bronze medal scandal that has overshadowed the Games.

Chiles was awarded the bronze medal in the floor exercise routine at the end of the Paris Games when her coaches filed a score inquiry after her performance. Chiles was elevated from fifth to third place. But Romanian officials brought their own appeal to the Center of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), which overturned Chiles’ score and stripped her of a medal.

Now, Chiles and her lawyers are going to a higher court.

"Chiles asks the Supreme Court to find that the CAS decision was procedurally deficient for two reasons," Chiles’ lawyers said in a statement, according to Olympics.com.

"First, CAS violated Chiles’ fundamental ‘right to be heard’ by refusing to consider the video evidence that showed her inquiry was submitted on time – in direct contradiction to the findings in CAS’ decision.

"Second, the entire CAS proceeding was unfair because Chiles was not properly informed that Hamid G. Gharavi, the President of the CAS panel that revoked Chiles’s bronze medal and awarded it instead to a Romanian gymnast, had a serious conflict of interest: Mr. Gharavi has acted as counsel for Romania for almost a decade and was actively representing Romania at the time of the CAS arbitration.
