"Holding a hearing on steroids in baseball without Bonds would be like an inquiry into the Titanic sinking without mentioning the iceberg." Dave Zirin on the Congressional Hearings being conducted to cope with the problem of Steroids in baseball. He discusses why Bonds was not subpoenaed, and why Dennis Kuchinich is not to be trusted.

I agree (mostly) with LIDJ. What's wrong is wrong, caught or not. The only thing I'm undecided on is whether congress should be getting involved. Yes, I agree they should be worrying about more important things, but that never stopped a congressman before; anything for some flashy media headlines and the possibility of bettering chances of re-election is fair game for our public servants in DC. Take a gander at the budget if you've any doubt. On the other hand, it seems like nothing else is working. Am I mistaken in thinking that using these drugs is illegal (as in, against the law; not just in opposition to baseball's stated "policies".) If so, prosecute'em! And if not, then congress should be involved, so that they can pass a law making it illegal. That, after all, is congress' job.
