"Therefore, I have concluded that permanent ineligibility ends upon the passing of the disciplined individual, and Mr. Rose will be removed from the permanently ineligible list."

So the ban was to protect the integrity of the game while Rose was alive, not punishment for him affecting the integrity of the game. Wow.
