Well, FIFA (and any sports league/body) is pretty sensitive about the term "match fixing". Its one thing to say as much in the heat of the moment to the ref, its another to re-iterate it a couple months later to a FIFA panel.

And yes, I didn't see any contact, but the cameras were all over the place at the end of the match IIRC, and as much chasing the Canadians were doing of the ref, the cameras didn't really focus on that, so who knows what happened (or didn't).

If its just the match fixing allegation, and she would've backed down from the term match fixing last week, she probably would've gotten a game or two, not 4.
