March 11, 200917 yr Denied water is bad enough but "requiring players to run until one of them quit"? That is seems almost equally reckless and stupid. So shame, humiliation and quiting is lession these coaches wanted to teach? And on 94 HI day? With no ice towels available? Its not hard to see why the grand jury at least went to indictment. It looks like it will be up to the hired guns to sort out now.
March 11, 200917 yr The Adderall link is a long strech. 20 mg XR is a low dose (up to 60 mg is typical) and since its XR (extended release) it would be given in the morning in a single dose. XR has different coatings on the pellets that release throughout the day. There was a scare based on reports of 12 deaths in Canada. But almost all the cases involved other serious heart or liver health conditions. "Of 12 total cases, five occurred in patients with underlying structural heart defects (abnormal arteries or valves, abnormally thickened walls, etc.), all conditions that increase the risk for sudden death. Several of the remaining cases presented problems of interpretation, including a family history of ventricular tachycardia, association of death with heat exhaustion, dehydration and near-drowning, very rigorous exercise, fatty liver, heart attack, and type 1 diabetes mellitus. One case was reported three to four years after the event and another had above-toxic blood levels of amphetamine. The duration of treatment varied from one day to 8 years. The number of cases of sudden deaths reported for Adderall is only slightly greater, per million prescriptions, than the number reported for methylphenidate products, which are also commonly used to treat pediatric patients with ADHD."

That may be a stretch, but considering the doctor hired by the CJ says he was not dehydrated, pulls a lot of weight against the prosecutions arguement.
March 11, 200917 yr Wow that's a lot, especially if they had to be made in time. Was there certain times you had to do each part? Actually no....we had position groups as every team has, and Coach Harbaugh had an interesting task....you couldn't be last in your group, or run the next day.....you saw awesome finishes.

And if an autopsy had been done as the law requires, then we would know if this child had an underlying heart condition that may have been responsible for the death. Alas, since the law was violated, we will never know.
March 11, 200917 yr And if an autopsy had been done as the law requires, then we would know if this child had an underlying heart condition that may have been responsible for the death. Alas, since the law was violated, we will never know. Let me ask you since your should know the answer to this. I was told that if the kid had died at practice or at the hospital that day then the autopsy would have been required. But since he died days later in the hospital under a doctors care it isn't required. Is this not true? It sounds silly to me and I would think an autopsy would be required any time a child dies but who knows.
