⁛ CAS considers Piscupescu's statements regarding Lytra's score with ball routine to be credible. It's detailed and consistent
⁛ Scores at European Championships were generally too high (if consider FIG report as only accurate one)
⁛ CAS found no confirmation that Piscupescu changed her statement regarding Lewinska's score for ball routine, she simply clarified it (to raise, not lower)
⁛ Aliprandi must have been lying in all testimony against Trikomiti as well (she didn't do it on purpose)
⁛ Trikomiti, Todorova and Bedoshvili quite clearly sought to downplay number of blocks on Lewinska’s score with ball routine
⁛ In view of the above, Panel finds it established that Trikomiti did ask Piscupescu to change her score from 10,4 to 10,6. However, Panel is not satisfied that this request even falls under GEF’s own formulation of its case. As mentioned above, it's GEF’s case that Trikomiti provoked blocked scores by requesting Piscupescu to change her scores - so that, after block occurred, she could use her undisputed power under applicable rules to determine final score. Problem with this allegation is that Piscupescu’s score of 10,4 (which she confirms having given herself freely, after having corrected her initial score of 10,3) already created a block, given that difference compared to JP’s DB score (11,4) exceeded threshold of 0,5. Accordingly, request to change score from to 10.6 did not create block. Instead, it must have been made after system had already automatically blocked DB score. Indeed, this was expressly confirmed by Piscupescu herself in her written witness statement, in which she stated that “I do recall that in this particular case, I was instructed by the President of Jury to adjust score following block”
⁛ In case of Lewinska's score for ribbon routine, CAS did not find enough proof
