This scandal began last month when Ulander competed well in a qualifying skeleton sled race and hoped to win enough qualifying points to secure a spot on the U.S.
But she alleges a Canadian coach manipulated the point system, costing her what would have been a sixth trip to the Winter Games.
Olympic and Paralympic Committee called Ulander's treatment unfair.
A major international sled federation also said point manipulation did occur.
But Ulander was still sidelined, so she filed one last appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
A review panel ruled that for technical reasons, they lacked jurisdiction, leaving Ulander out of these Olympics.
