Romanian gymnast Ana Barbosu has been handed a two-year suspension following her involvement in the medal controversy surrounding American gymnast Jordan Chiles at the Paris 2024 Olympics. Barbosu, who competed in the women's floor exercise final on August 5, 2024, at Bercy Arena, found herself at the center of a dispute that erupted after Chiles' initial bronze medal was upgraded to silver following a score inquiry, then later reverted back to bronze after a Court of Arbitration for Sport ruling.
The suspension was announced on November 6, 2026, though the specific governing body and the exact nature of the violation were not detailed in the initial report. Barbosu's case drew significant attention during the Games when the Romanian Olympic Committee challenged the scoring process that affected the final podium positions in the floor exercise event.
