"Five days before the House Government Reform Committee is scheduled to question current and former major-league baseball players about steroids, one of the subpoened players, Mark McGwire, has emerged as a prominent figure of a month-long investigation by the New York Daily News.

"Citing FBI sources, the newspaper reported that McGwire's name came up several times in a landmark anabolic steroids investigation that led to 70 convictions in the early 1990s.

"While evidence against McGwire was never collected and he was not a target in the investigation, two steroid dealers caught in the probe told the Daily News that another dealer provided McGwire and Jose Canseco, among others, with illegal anabolic steroids.

"The Daily News said an informant told the paper that a California man named Curtis Wenzlaff injected McGwire on several occassions at a gym in Southern California. A former member of the gym where McGwire and Wenzlaff allegedly worked out together told the paper that he heard the two discuss steroids."

This will explain why, tomorrow, you're going to see both Canseco and the R/D Reform Committee heads, Tom Davis and Good Guy Henry Waxman, on the talking head shows tomorrow.

One of these days, remind me to write that post about how Bobby Bonds is the George W. Bush of baseball, by the way ...

3. When bodies change like Bonds' and McGuire's at their age...

...there is only one explanation. The hearings and investigations will only help expose their dope taking asses and assure baseball fans that Barry (steroid taking cheater) Bonds never surpasses The Babe and Hank Aaron as the all time home run kings.

This is the one good thing the Congress will do for the entire session. We didn't need Republicans for this, BTW.

I say take away the damn anti trust exemption for this!
