Congress may not be the place for steroid stringency, but Major League Baseball has applied little more than a slap on the wrist to steroid users. Bud Selig wants the big numbers that Barry Bonds, Mark McGwire, et al. produce. He looks at baseball as an industry as he is an owner himself.

If performance enhancing drugs are allowed or winked at, I say give Ben Johnson his medal back. Allow drugs in all sports. What the heck...our society is going down the tubes anyway with rampant illegality, profligacy and immorality. Major League Baseball clearly doesn't care, so let them wallow in their own cesspool.

Talk about grandstanding!! I object to any tax dollars being spent on the likes of this hearing! It was not only a non issue for Congress, it was a photo op for the press! There are many things these folks we elect should be doing, but questioning these guys on their use of steroids is not one of them. Businesses, unions and the like police their own with great success...for example (ALPA, the pilots union). That is exactly what professional sports, all of them should be doing...and the players and owners honestly know this...or SHUT DOWN THE GAMES!
