Jason Giambi, Sammy Sosa and Curt Schilling will reportedly receive subpoenas to testify on March 17 before the House Government Reform Committee regarding steroids. The Baltimore Sun reported that subpoenas will start going out Wednesday, and Rafael Palmeiro, Frank Thomas, Jose Canseco and Mark McGwire will also be called to appear at the hearing.

Tom Davis (R-VA), chairman of the Committee, and Henry Waxman (D-CA), ranking minority member, announced on Tuesday they received notice several medical experts and family members who have been affected by the use of steroids will testify at the hearing.

"I believe it is important for the Committee to hear from medical experts and impacted families on the scope of the steroid problem nationwide," Davis said.

The Sun reported baseball commissioner Bud Selig and union head Donald Fehr were also likely to appear at the hearing, but they may not receive subpoenas.

They won't subpoena Bonds because they don't want to blow what's left of the BALCO perjury trap.

I wonder what they hope to get from Sosa.

Who needs steroids when you've got cork?

Hey, maybe Major League Baseball can start giving out an award each year to the player who finds the most ways to cheat and harm the game.
