Finally Congress really gets serious about something. Too bad that what it has gotten serious about is so damned idiotic it makes my head swim.

Congressional Committee Summons Tagliabue; Also Will Call Other Sports

Mar 31, 5:10 PM (ET)

WASHINGTON (AP) - The same Congressional committee that conducted hearings into steroids in baseball has summoned NFL commissioner Paul Tagliabue to testify about how football regulates the performance-enhancing substances. The Government Reform Committee also said it will summon representatives of the NBA, NHL, NCAA, U.S. Track and Field and Major League Soccer to discuss steroids in their sports.

"As the committee has stated publicly numerous times, its focus on the performance-enhancing drug use in sports is not limited to professional baseball," the committee said in a letter signed by committee chairman Rep. Tom Davis and ranking Democrat Rep. Henry Waxman. "As part of this investigation, we are requesting basic information on steroid policies from a number of sports leagues."

NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said the league responded immediately in a letter from Tagliabue that said he has directed his staff to be fully responsive to the committee's request. The NFL has had random testing for steroids for the past 15 years. A total of 44 players have been suspended during that period for using the performance-enhancing substances.
