I'm not sure why her sister thinks it's racism, but she has a point that the judges screwed up, so it shouldn't matter if the inquiry was late. (Although USA Gymnastics said they have proof that it wasn't late.)
The uncertainty of losing her medal has taken an emotional toll on Chiles and now she has stepped away from social media to focus on her mental health amid the growing controversy.
While the Romanian camp remains focused on their athletes, they have not addressed the wave of online harassment that Chiles has faced since the protest.
Chiles’ older sister, Jazmin, also took to social media to express her frustration over the situation, asking for prayers for Jordan and their family.
“Racism is real, it exists, it is alive and well,” Jazmin wrote in her Instagram story. “They have officially, 5 days later, stripped her of one of her medals.”
Jazmin continued, “Not because she didn’t win, not because she was drugged, not because she stepped out of bounds. Not because she wasn’t good enough. But because the judges failed to give her difficulty and forced an inquiry to be made.”
She concluded with a heartfelt message to her sister, “FOUR SECONDS. Her bronze was stripped over 4 seconds of time that would have never needed to happen if the judges did their job. I love you baby sis. And I got you back no matter what.”

Its pure bribery and conflict of interest since the person who made the reversal call has ties financially to the Romanian government.

I saw this headline a couple days ago, but I didn't read the article:
Panel member who ruled on Team USA’s Jordan Chiles’ bronze medal appeal has a history of representing Romania in legal cases
Since the judges made the mistake in the first place, nothing after that should matter. -
