Congress and Steroids

This whole thing about Congress having baseball players testify is a joke. They're not going to accomplish anything (politicians not accomplishing something. Amazing). They think the public cares about this MLB steroid issue so they want to act like they care about it for good publicity.

Congressmen are claiming they're doing this because some steroid using kids killed themselves. Wouldn't it make more sense to have teen athletes who have used steroids to testify? How about people convicted of selling steroids to high school kids? These people will give us a better understanding of the problem of steroids and young athletes, not some pampered athletes who live in a world isolated from the rest of everyday citizens.

Many people are asking why Barry Bonds isn't being asked to testify. Here's another one for you: when will the poster boy of steroid use, Arnold Schwarzenegger, be asked to testify? I'm sure politics has nothing to do with that.
