Famous rapper and reality television star Flavor Flav has made a touching offer to Team USA gymnast Jordan Chiles after she was forced to give back her Olympic bronze medal.
Flavor Flav has offered to make Chiles a bronze-necklace clock to replace the medal she won during the individual floor competition in Paris, but has subsequently been told she needs to return.
The controversy surrounding Chiles erupted on Saturday when the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled she had been unjustly moved up from fifth place as the result of a United States injury.
The court claimed the American inquiry was lodged four seconds too late, therefore, Chiles scored should not have been raised and she should have not touched the podium.
USA gymnastics has filed an appeal of the decision, with an official timestamped statement showing the inquiry was made within the one-minute parameter.
