Flavor Flav is known for his signature clock necklaces and has worn one (or more) of them while cheering for Team USA during the Paris Olympics. His offer came to Chiles after her medal was taken away following the scoring controversy during the gymnastics competition.

On Aug. 5, Chiles, 23, competed in the floor exercise final and ultimately earned the bronze medal after her coach, USA Gymnastics' Cecile Landi, submitted an inquiry to the judges on her score (which initially placed her in fifth). The inquiry was successful, showing that her difficulty start value was incorrect, and she was moved into third place.

Chiles' score went from 13.666 to 13.766, moving her ahead of Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu — who had initially been the presumptive winner of the bronze medal when scores were posted — who scored 13.700.

A judge for the Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled in favor of Barbosu and Sabrina Maneca-Voinea, another Romanian gymnast, on Aug. 11, saying that Chiles would lose her medal and it would be reallocated to Barbosu. Maneca-Voinea's score was also adjusted after the competition to raise it to 13.700 after an appeal on a deduction over stepping out of bounds, making the two Romanian gymnasts tied. However, Maneca-Voinea would officially take fourth place, and Chiles would take fifth, as the current ruling stands.

"We are in touch with the NOC of Romania to discuss the reallocation ceremony and with USOPC regarding the return of the bronze medal," a statement from the organization read.

The CAS ruling had been passed on to the IOC and the International Gymnastics Federation (FIG) to determine how to redistribute the medals.

The CAS determined that Landi's inquiry was not made in the one-minute time limit allocated for inquiries, however, USA Gymnastics now say they have video evidence proving otherwise.

"USA Gymnastics on Sunday formally submitted a letter and video evidence to the Court of Arbitration for Sport, conclusively establishing that Head Coach Cecile Landi’s request to file an inquiry was submitted 47 seconds after the publishing of the score, within the 1-minute deadline required by FIG rule," the federation said in a statement shared with PEOPLE on Aug. 11.

The letter sent to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) includes a request from USA Gymnastics that the "ruling be revised and Chiles’ bronze-medal score of 13.766 reinstated," per the Aug. 11 statement.

Next, the CAS will have to review the evidence submitted by USA Gymnastics to determine whether or not the ruling stands.

While Chiles has stepped away from social media, saying that she is "removing myself" during this time for her "mental health," plenty of people have spoken out on her behalf, including her gymnastics teammates.

Simone Biles, who took silver in the floor exercise, wrote on her Instagram Stories on Aug. 10, "Sending you so much love Jordan. Keep your chin up Olympic champ! We love you!"

Chiles also received support from fellow gymnasts Suni Lee and Jade Carey. In a post, Lee wrote, "All this talk about the athlete, what about the judges?? Completely unacceptable. This is awful and I'm gutted for Jordan. I got your back forever Jo. U have all my flowers and you will ALWAYS be an Olympic champion."

Carey added an Instagram Stories post, "Don't punish the athlete for someone else's mistake. With you all the way Jo. You are forever an Olympic champion that has so much to be proud of."
