But he did get a chance to face his accusers. Appeals courts are not “de novo” review - they look at the record already presented at trial and determine whether there were material errors, generally of the law.

Completely agree. However, I can at least see the argument if the person died of natural causes. Even then, you know the case would be tied up for years when a person committed suicide to avoid judgment (pun not intended) to have the death deemed from natural causes.

It is, unfortunately, not unique to Massachusetts. I can’t find how many states have this rule, but Texas is another state this made news in a while back when Ken Lay (of Enron) died of a heart attack before appeals were finished.

It’s Cinco de Mayo. What are you drinking and eating (or have drank and eaten) to celebrate?

Oh, I know. I drive Riverwest every day. And that’s not even that urban compared to other parts of the city.

I agree, but the OP is not using that definition of urban. In the OPs definition of urban, not even Milwaukee is considered urban. If that’s so, Madison sure as shit isn’t.

goddammit, I hate myself for chuckling at that

Jaws.

Ha. That’s hilarious. No, Madison is not urban. It’s a college town.

He’ll have to be Loki for a while

You are correct, that’s how we roll in WI. 

Oh, fescue!

You’re basically saying that you want to know the temperature outside so you check your phone instead sitting through all the bullshit on the Weather Channel.

Shouldn’t it have been “tug?” Or have I been doing it all wrong?

Ok? That deals with IOC and WADA, not USADA. Further, Clenbuterol isn’t an issue in the U.S. thanks to strict regulations by the FDA & USDA. Even further, no athlete under the purview of USADA has tested positive for clenbuterol from eating U.S.-derived meats.
